Hi guys. Hope you're all doing great. Okay so thanks to you guys, I'm starting to learn flamenco. I don't have a flamenco guitar for now, but I already got a cheap classical on which I lowered the action few days ago! My classical has a spruce top and a bright sound. I'm not an expert by no means, but I'm just happy with the sound. I filed down the saddle actually. I couldn't go as low as I had intended.. of course there's this issue about the classical guitar bridge. I read the bridge should be lower on a flamenco.. but anyways, here's some numbers about the current action on my guitar (after the work's been done) String height/12th fret: 3.8 mm / bass 3 mm / treble String height at the bridge: 9.5 mm / bass 8.5 mm / treble Having read previous threads here, I understand it's not the ideal action for flamenco, but I feel I can't/shouldn't get the action on mine any lower.. I'm hearing some buzzes on the basses but only when plucked very strongly, if it matters! Finally to my question.. If I learn flamenco on my guitar with the current action, for a year or so before purchasing a proper flamenco guitar, would I develop any bad habits I might carry with me when I start using a flamenco guitar? Has anyone practiced (or currently practicing) on a guitar similar to mine (with a similar action) and do you see it working for you? Thanks for the help, guys. Cheers!
