ORIGINAL: SLJ It wasn't for tone,,, I was trying to get a lower action,,, that just everything Ive done. I think it could go down at nut, but Im leary on doing it,,, I don't have much exp. on doing it on a fretted inst. Nut only affects the FIRST fret, don't bother with it if playing a barre at first fret is ok.

We need to create a FAQ sheet about how to pick a guitar or what makes a suitable pinch flamenco guitar, etc. I agree and I have considered doing a youtube vid about this topic. I think that it is one of the most frequently asked questions beginners have about learning to play flamenco. The fact is that a good flamenco guitar is just not available or feasible to obtain for many who want to learn. I remember when I was young and had no possible way or means to obtain one, nor were there any teachers, nor any players anywhere around me to associate and play with. So I had a Carlos Montoya album that left me mesmerized, with no means at all to explore how to make these wonderful sounds. Things have changed a lot since then and the music and teaching is far more accessible, but the availability of a good flamenco guitar for the beginner has not. With the economy now, it is more difficult for many. I would like to see playing flamenco music on guitar become more popular. I hope to at least make a simple video sometime that describes how to evaluate and choose a good candidate in a classical guitar, and then how to set it up the best you can for practicing and learning flamenco. More opportunity to just go ahead begin on a cheaper classical guitar is good for flamenco music all the way around, these will be the future players and customers who one day, like me, will want to get a really good instrument.
