Conrad -> RE: 650 vs 655 Scale (Jan. 23 2005 23:32:12)

Real good observation there, man! Is that Miguel's Pedro de Miguel you're talking about? And who has the Contreras? Who are these friends of yours? How many flamenco's do you know? I wanna meet 'em!! Or are they just guys from the studio? Anyway, you're absolutely spot on. Longer scale increases string tension and, apparently even slight difference in scale can cause this effect. However, it could also be that, by coincidence, the 655 one you played had higher tension strings. Speaking of thin guitars. Have you tried the new "Andalusian Guitars" at the Twelfth Fret? They are being outsourced to Spain by a local guy who used to play in San Francisco, his name is Diaz I think. They are even "endorsed" by Paco de Lucia, supposedly. Anyway, they are very thin and light guitars, so they really yell!!! -Con
