tirofori -> RE: Santos Hernandez Plan and Neck Angle Set-up (Sep. 15 2009 16:30:54)

Hello diazf, As to your second question: before you can decide about a neck angle you must decide what distance you want between the soundboard and the strings at the position you play the guitar, which is near the bridge. I think 8 mm is a good distance for a comfortable golpe but this is a matter of personal preference. In my experience the best thing to do is to draw the guitar sideways full-size as precisely as you can, including fretboard, bridge and string. I cannot answer your first question but when you have a good drawing you will clearly see the effect of a curved soundboard. Then you will be able to decide what neck angle you need, if any. By the way, John Shelton says in his reaction that braces that run perpendicular to the grain should be shaped to fit the solera. I would be interested to know if that includes, in his opinion, the two closing braces.
