Hi desaviol, It will be very difficult for you to learn flamenco technique on a high bridge, high action guitar as it will affect your hand position and things like golpe. (which is not just a kind of ornamentation you add in here and there, but is integral to the feel of the hand and rhythm of the music.) Try to get a low cost proper flamenco guitar like the Yamaha, since the whole feel and setup will be very different to your Classical. Otherwise at some point when you finally decide to buy a flamenco guitar, you are going to have to "unlearn" a lot of your technique you have spent months on. It's sometimes possible to file the saddle right down on a Classical and fit a tap plate to protect the top. (I did it once and it wasn't too bad) but it very much depends on the individual guitar. As Tom says, there are some Classical guitars that sound right for flamenco. In fact at the Ramirez shop, they said that their Negras were basically Classical guitars "Flamencada". (different bridge, neck, setup etc). cheers, Ron
