My Anders Eliasson Guitar

I have just received a very fine flamenco blanca from Anders. I had an instant good feeling about Anders as I'm sure most of you will also have and having taken the plunge, it's been an absolute pleasure talking things through with him over the last few months and a thrill to see her under construction from start to finish. (It's the picture with Anders holding her, sitting on his door step on his web site) Big beautiful sound, vibrant, responsive with perfect intonation. Crisp, clear, warm, sweet, Auch! what can I say? Hours spent adjusting the set-up and it shows, it's faultless. A very genuine man making super guitars. Brilliant! Jim.

Hey Jim. Thanks a lot. I'm very happy you like the guitar, and your little review does give me some nice publicity as Miguel says. I'm working the intonation ad setup thing a lot on my guitars. I mean what is a beautifull purfling and a wonderfull tone worth, if the guitar is hard to play and the intonation poor? I still have things to learn, so my prices wil go up slowly. But they will go up, because they are very cheap now.

Thanks Simon. I'm really happy with this forum to. It is a huge help and a nice place to be. So when will you come?. It's raining today. Really good. We are very close to official dry year. Driest winter in 16 years. Anders

Hi Antonio. The Negras and Blancas I build are basically the same instrument with other woods. This with the second hand thing is bad in Granada as well as in the rest of Spain. You have to know the clients as there aint no market. You can try E-bay

One more thing about the final adjustments of the guitar: I can say that I never had one that was perfect in this matter; or is it my way of playing hard? What do you mean by not being perfect?

This with buzzing is an eternal question. It is a compromise and will never be perfect. As Peter say, use high tension strings if you give it a lot of caña, and accept that this playing style needs a higher action. Maybe a change in handposition. The closer to the bridge and the more parralel to the soundboard, the lesser the buzz. I've adjusted a lot of elctric guitars. Some of these Jazz dudes with the big Gibsons. You know the xx.000$ ones want the strings so low, that it's almost like they are underneath the frets. There's always a limit, and 1 fret which is sitting higher than others can destroy the whole story.
