RE: How to build a guitar resistant ... (in reply to Guest)
Rumbaking you have a guitar on order and you're already thinking about the next one, sounds like you have a bad case of GAS. Post some pics or video when they arrive and your wife never needs to know

Alright Rumbaking. You have me itching and twitching waiting for that "opening the box video"! In the mean time, how about sharing some specks with us? Come on now and lay it all out, and don't be shy... I'll have some time on my hands before ordering/ buying another guitar, so I will live through you for a while... My latest excitement is a new cejilla from Tony, and that has been a true delight, but not quite as warm and fuzzy as opening up a new guitar... Maybe you should call on Anders for this mahogany and cedar monster negra? He has the ideas all laid out here! Gosh this is making me sweat!!

Ok! So it's more function of your environment...why not
First I understood that, let say, one will be a rumba' bone, another for sevillanas and the last one for the soleares form
But damn, lately i made some saddles. And I've tried 'em on the guitar it's a pain_in_the_ass to : unstring, remove, change, restring, waiting for the strings to stay in tune again...It's certainly not something I'd like to do on a regular basis. That's sucks
So i'm glad that you're not gonna do this every time you change palos
