Thanks C. Vega quote:
Again, no standardization of depth for negras vs. blancas either. Some makers use the same measurements for both, others may make their negras a little deeper. Oh, okay, I get what you are saying. For some reason I assumed a Negra body was a little wider in width size then a blanca. Okay, thanks for clarifying... quote:
kalo--as c.vega stated there is variation in nut width but it does seem that 650mm and 52mm are the typical measurements for most factory guitars and off the rack models. some companies are now making 640mm and less guitars with nuts less than 52mm. Hey Keith! Okay, I was just curious as to why that is the standard in nut width, but, I guess it just the default standard! quote:
is your question a follow up from your experience with the "conde" model? you might want to try a crossover to see if a narrow nut works for you--not saying buy it but get a feel. another option is a 3/4 guitar--again to see if it works for you. Well, I sent the Orange Navarro Conde back [;)] However, I am asking all these questions because one day I probably will want to have a flamenco guitar built for me. I am seriously thinking of a 50 to 51 nut. Right now my Takamine is 50 mm nut and it seems to be a good width for me. I would love to try a 640 mm scale, however, I am a little hesitant to try because most of the times I am using a capo. There aren't too many guitars that have a 640 mm scale that I can try. One thing that I saw on eBay is someone selling a Fransico Navarro CLASSICAL guitar with a 50 mm nut and 640 scale. I have NEVER seen nor knew that he made his classical guitars that way. I researched it and found out he makes the classical guitar in 650mm 52mm and 640 mm, 50 mm. I wish he would also give an option like that for his Flamenco Guitars. Though now that I the Navarro Conde didn't work out I am SO hesitant in trying something else. I guess, I will just play the good ol takamine cutaway until I can have a guitar built for me. Thanks for the replies! Kalo
