RE: Optimum Neck Angle (in reply to Anders Eliasson)

No, thats not what I mean. I talk about priority, and due to the playing style and sound you look for, the setup and stringheight above soundboard is absolutely first priority. Everything else comes next. being bracing pattern, wood or anything else. Anders, I agree that string height is crucial on a Flamenco guitar. Therefore, if it can easily be corrected, then it is best to do so. In my case, I have the wrong neck angle on my guitar, which would not be easy to changed at this point. Therefore, I have opted to put it down to experience, and learn from my mistake. After all, my guitar is not really a "true" Flamenco one anyway. The next one will be better, and more suited to Flamenco. By the way, I'd be curious to hear how your "very first guitar" turned out- was it a success? was it perfect? Or was it a matter of learning gradually? I'm not saying it wasn't a top quality guitar, I'm just honestly curious how it turned out (and what eventually happened to it). Thanks also for your advice regarding the Barbero plans. I shall read as much as I can on the Barbero guitar, but I have to admit that my college library has limited books on luthiery. Perhaps I will also find some relevant information on the internet. Cheers, James
