oregon47 -> RE: Plan for Flamenco Negra build (Feb. 3 2011 16:08:53)

Mr. Blackshear, I used the plan you produced for my last flamenco guitar. It was the availability of the little insights like the one you just posted that made me choose it. I think you may have solved the only issue (other than amatuerish wood workmanship) that kind of bugs me with that build, which is the G string. I may try and do some work on that brace. I have a science background, so I do understand the issues of geometry of the guitar, how wood density and top deflection effect (or is it affect) sound, and I am starting to understand the bracing issues. What I really should do is go and get some training from a local luthier with experience and knowledge on the caliber of yours. If possible. Mr. Faulk, I have found many of your posts insightful and entertaining, this one included. Thanks for the advise. I am going to have to draw that one up to get a picture of what you are doing. Thanks to everyone who has posted so far. Great information. This guitar building stuff can really cut into the playing time. I can see that it is a life long journey with no end to the amount of experimentation one could do.
