RE: Can you correct a too soft pulsa... (in reply to estebanana)
Hey Stephen -
Haha, I seem to have made you annoyed by reminding you of your favorite word, and it's use on your website. By the way I didn't find it in some random place ... I was simply looking at your guitars online - You used the word to define a quality you build into your guitars. Not me. You do nice work by the way, your guitars are beautiful. :) They probably have excellent Pulsacion as well.
You are correct, I don't build guitars and I'm not a luthier either. So ... Yep, there isn't four models that I have developed, so indeed - Nada.
Cheers! Jeff

I'm not surprised you posted that, it's pretty representative of your posts in general. Too bad that there is a slice of humanity that have to make themselves feel bigger by mocking other people, but all it does is make them smaller.
Foro Flamenco has shrunk in the years since I joined, and I can't imagine it is because there are less people interested in guitars and Flamenco. I suspect it has to do with toxic people who are constantly posting in the face of others.
I'm not mad at your post, I just feel sorry for you that you can't be a force for positivity here. You are a very good luthier, and you make wonderful guitars, but sadly you have to make everybody feel your presence in a non-positive way. It's sad because you have a lot of good knowledge that others like myself actually appreciate.

Get a life you sap. Go shame someone who will okay your game.
Your thing is control, trying to use shame and Pollyannaism to manipulate. You thought you had a ‘gotcha moment’, but to me you just look like a manipulator. I don’t play your game of gotcha followed by your need to extract a mea culpa from me. It’s not my job to help you there.
See if I complain the thread makes me want to stick a fork in my head, that’s not toxicity to you. That’s me creating an expression of exasperation with how stupid the idea of fixing the pulsacion of a guitar is.
I knocked down your argument for changing the way the guitar works; you took the back off the guitar two or three times, that is not a remedy, that is a beginner guitar maker second guessing themselves and trying to fix a goof up. Take your medicine, and don’t bring up your mother in such a passive aggressive nasty manipulative way.
Ricardo and I have been trading insults for years over the ridiculous traffic cone color guitars he plays. He doesn’t go after people with passive aggressive gotcha BS and he and I get along fine.
Care Is control ~ let others be who they are
If you want or need to engage someone in a therapeutic dialogue, get a professional to work with you. Your view of what’s toxic isn’t my concern.
