I would recommend just sticking to one plan for now. Build another guitar off the plans you used for your first guitar and continue making guitars with that plan to become consistent in your work. Thanks for your advice, Tom. Unfortunately, I did not follow a specific plan for my first guitar. The guitar was built according to some roughly transcribed dimensions for standard "classical" guitars, but much of the decision making was done on the spot, and with guidance from my tutors (who know very little specifically about "Flamenco" guitars). Consequently, the guitar I am about to finish is not really a "blanca" and not really a "classical"... it has a shallower body than a classical, but the back and sides are maple. And it has a 2-piece neck and neck block (with dovetail joint) instead of the traditional Spanish method. We'll have to wait and see what happens with the bridge! but its a mix-and-match job. some of the dimensions were also changed to accommodate mistakes. Now that I have some experience with the techniques involved, I would like to make something according to plan. And preferably a plan of a proper Flamenco guitar. I think between the plan, myself, and my tutors, we can try and produce something that actually sounds good rather than just making a guitar for the sake of it. I think maybe the basic "Barbero" plan is the way to go, and then make only adjustments that are absolutely neccessary to optimize the sound/tone. But if anyone thinks otherwise, I'm always open to suggestions! Cheers, Jb

Hi there James! How about some pics of your guitar? Hi Cheston, Good to see you still visit the foro these days. I am reluctant to show you all pictures of my guitar for 2 reasons: 1. it is not quite finished, and... 2. the standard of luthiery is so high on the forum, what with people like Ramon displaying pictures of their "works of art", it makes my efforts seem inferior! However, I think I will post some pictures soon. I'm just completing the binding this week, and then I need to turn my attention to the neck and fretboard. Once I have the neck and fretboard ready I will post some pictures. Although, I haven't rigidly stuck to tradition (as a few of you know already), so I'm expecting a few raised eyebrows, and maybe even a few chuckles. But hey, its only my first guitar, right?! By the way, thanks for your comments, Armando! Cheers, James
