Very cool guitar. How does the flamenco setup work with the raised fingerboard, i.e., string height to soundboard? Also where did you find the light wood (boxwood) pegs? I've been looking for them. Regards, --Fabian

wow, im very jealous! what woods did you use? you're a creative, experimental fellow. did you make the soundhole larger?

So somewhere between bridge and soundhole would be convenient to position the right hand. quote: Also where did you find the light wood (boxwood) pegs? I've been looking for them. Madinter Spain.

quote: Good eyes there. Yes it is larger. any effect on sound that you notice?

quote: any effect on sound that you notice? Nothing I can say with certainty. However I am very satisfied with the sound and this time (contrary to the other guitars) did no tweaking after stringing the guitar.

Nice guitar Mike. Isn't the larger soundhole something which is also on Baroque guitars? Only the openheadstock with pegs hasn't my personal preference, but the soundport looks sweet.

quote: Isn't the larger soundhole something which is also on Baroque guitars? Yes but their rosette has acoustical functionality.

If you could try it and compare it your Conde or whatever big name guitar you are playing I would ask 3000 Euro, but over the net and because its the first instrument I'm selling my asking price is 1400 Euro. I have a Pedro de Miguel 1a at home. If anybody is interested I can make an audio with some decent recording equipment comparing them side by side. Edit: Furthermore if not happy buyer can send it back within 30 days and get full refund.
