Interesting.......what's the advantage of that? I'm curious to hear what other builders have to say about it.

Hi Heartfelt,
I was just checking out your website for your guitars. You are in Rochester, NY which is about 2 hours from me (I'm in Ithaca).

Interestingly, when I click on "Flamenco guitars", most of the text is cut and pasted 100% from my website.

" Blanca 1A

These are my traditional Flamenco instruments, built with spruce or cedar tops. They are crisp, bright and very percussive"

" Blanca 2A


My 2A Blanca is a fantastic player's guitar on a budget These guitars are excellent for dance accompaniment. I can save a lot of time with apremade rosette (of your choice), and unfancy purflings and tie block inlay. These guitars feature woods that are all graded Premium. The guitar still receives my full attention and a French polish finish. Wooden pegs or machine tuners can be used."

" Negra 1A


A soloist's instrument. My Flamenco Negra guitars have all the richness, power, complexity and sustain required for a professional concert performance or studio recording. However, the character of the guitar is still very Flamenco, with a deep, earthy bass and punchy midrange"

Anyway, just thought I would point that out.

I'm also curious, is that one of your guitars that Don Soledad is playing?


edit: oh, I guess your classicals are a lot like mine too

"Classical 1A


My classical guitars are made in traditional Spanish way, with a sound crafted to satisfy the modern concert guitarist. I strive for a guitar that has the power, clarity, openness, and separation to fill a concert hall, but that also has a beautiful voice that will make you not want to put it down. These guitars are loud and penetrating without being boomy and have great sustain and overtones."

Join them like you would a top or a back but use glue that can bend and will hold with heat. Polyurethane glue works. And put reinforcements on the inside.

Why not make the back 2 different woods too?

I once joined a pair of sides with a purfling in the center after I screwed up and cut them too narrow

Cool thanks man. I appreciate it. One of these days I will come up and check out your shop, and let me know if you're going to be in my neck of the woods.

It looks fine now I guess. Just one other thing I noticed about the site: the is a "t" missing from the end of the "contact" link.
Good luck with your building.
