This fine (and pretty rare) lady decided I wasn't allowed to leave the shop without her 3 hours ago:
Same pickup (piezo plus mic) system as the CPX-8 I bought last year, quite excellent and usually nothing you get in that price range. This here was new for €648, defenitely a pre-pandemic price. Tried to score a 2nd hand one for a while already, but the only one I ever saw was 500km away (no shipping offered - and I don't buy guitars without touching them first anymore anyway after that PRS DGT SE fiasco).
The "F" stands for "Flamenco", nothing I'm ever playing, but the kinda brighter (or rather "low-cut-ish") character defenitely pays off when amplifying the thing, no boominess, less feedback and what not. And it's defenitely not all that flamenco-ish anyway, there's pretty much no fret-buzz even when you hit it hard, something "true" Flamenco guitars usually need to do.
Loved the thing in the shop already and still can't stop playing it. Playability is excellent. I also love that it's got a trussrod, so testing out different string tensions doesn't become an issue.
It's been about time for a new pickup-equipped nylon string anyway, so I'm absolutely happy with it, at least so far. Mini rehearsal of a double bass and guitar duo this evening, will make a final decision then, but I guess it's gonna come with me for the 4 gigs in the next 4 days (I used to play steelstring for that gig but a nylon would be even better).
