RE: building Miguel Rodriguez style ... (in reply to tri7/5)

It will be a classical build with some clarity concerning a flamenco action and articulation adjustment, which actually makes a good top tension for a flamenco player, if desired. I find that the treble end adjustment is also good for classical mode. It makes for a faster articulation, earthy, yet a higher frequency in its tone. This adjust also can put the bass with a little deeper but not boomy mode. 1999 Lucio y Tomas (U.S.A.) 650 mm scale, 51 mm nut, cedar top, Indian rosewood sides and back, considerable playing wear which is quite visible, later clear golpeador which neatly covers most of the top wear, and recent frets installed by the Brune workshop. The original french polish is still present, but has been entirely padded over to revive the dull areas, and with ongoing usage there is now some dulling of the areas previously padded over. These are cosmetic issues having no affect on the sound whatsoever. During this brief period Tom Blackshear of San Antonio Texas built perhaps a dozen guitars jointly with Mexican luthier Lucio Nuñez Nava in Tom’s San Antonio shop using Tom’s woods, tools, designs and finishes, including his fine tuning procedures. To Tom’s credit these were labeled as “Lucio y Tomas” guitars instead of “Tom Blackshear” guitars, even though they really don’t show the hand of Lucio Nuñez at all. This instrument is made on Tom’s famous Miguel Rodriguez pattern, a model which Tom knows intimately, and builds with equally spectacular results as the very pricy originals. It is accurate to the original Rodriguez model both internally and externally. Like the original Rodriguez guitars, this is a loud, open, throaty instrument which could easily pass as a concert flamenco guitar with body and sustain. Purely Spanish in concept, it responds immediately with an explosion of color and sound, and for those not put off by playing wear, this is a great instrument for a reasonable price. $6,000 http://www.rebrune.com/lucio-y-tomas
