Hi Chapman I´ve built 3 hybrids, doing exactly what you say, looking more for a flamenco setup with an extra bone for more classical stuff. and a bracing I would call a beefed flamenco bracing. The guitars came out very nicely and the owners are very happy with them. They are all a bit more flamenco than classical, but serve their purpose. One thing you have to understand though is that its a compromise and as a such you loose something. I find that the guitars serve very well as a typicall concert flamenco Negra. They are loud so they can be used for dance but a sharper sounding blanca would be better. As a classical guitar, they sound awesome for some of the typical Spanish repatoire, giving them some more dancing air. For more serious stuff, a bigger sounding typical classical guitar with less attack and more sustain will work better. For other things, like canteautor, speedscaling, brazil, son etc. the guitars are VERY good with just the right mix of percussiveness and body. here you have a picture of the last one There are more photos of this guitar on my website under classicals
