Im looking to buy a petite bouche that wont break the bank. Id like a spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides and a walnut neck! Affordable as in under 1500.
i don´t believe Altamiras have walnut necks. In fact i don´t think any of the Asian guitars has them - it´s mostly mahogany (or one of the African substitutes).
Are you very keen on a walnut neck? why - looks or tradition? if you don´t mind dropping the walnut neck for a mahogany one, the Altamira M30 ( http://shoppingcart.djangobooks.com/Item/altamira-m30 ) could be the one for you. I like my Altamira M10 (mahogany back and sides) a lot! it has the hefty neck shape.

I order the Altamiras with a modern C shape neck, the ones I have here feel very similar to a modern Dupont neck. Very smooth...
