Anders, Skye and Sean, I bow to your superior wisdom. After all, you are the players and makers. I can only reference to what I play and my guitars. Perhaps you have identified a problem I have with electric guitars now. I started as an electric player, but since playing so much on a Nylon strung guitar (Martin Millennium classical design) I find it so much harder to get a comfortable feel with my picking hand (right). The Martin has a raised fretboard which I love. It allows neck taping to be done without any scratches onto the sound top. However, I have heard you speak of action over the sound-hole. Now I get it. I guess we all adapt to the machine we are using, but this knowledge tells me that I might find it hard to do what all you experts do (as my guitar ain't made for the job). I mean - don't get me wrong, I really really love this Martin guitar - fantastic sound and projection, but it is made as a classical. actually I think of it as a rather of classical because of it's sound. That was refreshing post by you three. so David, listen to the masters. This is too complicated a job for most people.
