RE: Body dimensions for student Marl... (in reply to davewphx)

I Just heard back from Jordan at Memorial Music in Texas who is the US dealer for Marlon Navarro....

Evidently there are 630mm scale/ 50mm nut student flamenco negras, and blancas now in stock. Slightly smaller bodies. Here are his measurements...

"I will list the dimension category, then the 650 Scale, followed by the 630 Scale...

Upper Bout Width: 276mm, 273mm
Upper Bout Depth: 95mm, 94mm
Lower Bout Width: 365mm, 362mm
Lower Bout Depth: 96mm, 95mm"

I am going to get a blanca 630mm to test. The 50mm nut on the Cordoba GK spoiled me. He says all actions at 12 fret are right around 2.5mm for Flamencos. Hope I like the 630 scale. I know some people say tensions too low...

Anybody try these short scale models?
