Well, maybe a bit clever response. Building a new guitar with a 6,5mm bridge setup is suicide and as far as I remember, the guitar tunes between F and F#
Players wanting a guitar with a flatter treble response, should buy a used, prefereably beaten up guitar. I dont personally like that sound but prefer trebles which are more crispy. Just like on your guitar. This with resonance is something a lot of people get wrong. They think there there´s a frequency range, where all good guitars should tune. Thats crap. The different bracing systems have their own varieties, and because a guitar is tuned to G doesn´t mean its a good guitar. A good guitar is one which is balanced out and its normally between F and G
In the end its all a personal preference and I respect everyones ideas, but I dont like universal rules. Practice has told me that players are different and so are their guitar choices. I basically build what i like myself and try to learn as much as possible by taking my guitars out to be tested in real world flamenco and by letting pro players try them. But you cant really rely to much on responses. Spanish flamenco players are extremely conservative when it comes to design etc. A very good player tried a soundport guitar of mine in a quiet environments, and said it was a stupid idea and not nescessary, then I met him in another place and let him try the same guitar in a very noisy environment accompanying a singer. He was extremely possitive with it and said that the guitar was so lively and that he could hear the small nuances in his playing which he normally couldnt hear under similar circunstances. I then asked him if he would consider a soundport in one of his guitars. The answer was: no way.[:D]
