I was just browsing the web to find out about my BM when I ran into your thing here, mine doesn't have the pickguard but is similar in every other way except for the fact that where yours says Concert on the label mine says Classico, don't know about yours but mine sounds and feels very cheap which is OK because it only cost me £7 yes £7 which if you're in the USA would translate to about $13! and it came with a softcase too ...WOW quote |

PART 2 : -
As far as any other info is concerned, I'm as clueless as you are about these guitars, I've been playing music for 23 years and have a pretty good eye for instruments and frankly I think these are (certainly mine) cheap pieces of crap that were probably knocked out in some really shitty factory in Spain and labeled as such to try and give them some kind of authenticity 'Made In Spain' and shaped like a 'real' flamenco guitar but not really the kind of thing you'd see Paco Pena or Paco de Lucia playing.
Anyway, it's alright for a bit of a knock about isn't it and if you play it in a certain way it can actually sound alright, just don't expect any hot senioritas to start falling at your feet any time soon!!!

BM stands for Barnes and Mullins who are musical instruments distributorsin Shropshire UK.
I have a BM Concert which I bought on Ebay.
The guy in my local guitar shop says it is solid spruce top, mahogany sides and back.
A good guitar, plays well.I believe they were made by Admirsa guitars. I like mine and it's definitely not crap. The pickguard is not part of the original guitar. quote |
