RMN, You shouldn't have to make ANY modifications to a new guitar. If you do not like it, you should have the right to return or exchange it. Was this guitar built for you or did you just buy it? either way, do not spend any money or waste time trying to get a new guitar to play right. The way you like it. Don't waste anymore of your time and stress over this. Return it and find something that you like. thanks for the reply. i wish I could, the situation is a bit more complicated because the guitar was made for me in the end quote:
I have two Pedro De Miguels, Blanca and Negra. They are EXACTLY like this. They sound great when played hard, and on some days are just wonderfull. Other days you have to work harder. They never sound bad, just require more work. I still like them though. I have a Carillo as well, which is much more supple and easy to play all the time. However it lacks a certain sound characteristic that the PDM's have ... They are all definetly affected by humidity. Which of course they should, because they are all made of wood. Regards, Jeff ah thats very nice to hear! i thought I was the only one who is noticing this kind of issue. Well I mean mine never sounds bad either, but its just that with certain stuff you just cant work harder and there will be less sound coming out because there is so much tention. And mine as well, when it has a good day, man it plays and sounds awsome. thats why I want to look for a solution, because its a good guitar. a piano, like they say here. quote:
I think you should strive to meet Anders for an in person evaluation of the guitar. It is too difficult to address this problem abstractly without actually laying hands on the guitar. In the end this may not be your guitar. You guitar should be more reliable than this. Ok, there you have a good point. Indeed about the reliability. i get very nervous when i have a recording session or an important concert with press and filmcameras all around. Besides that I just love a guitar that plays good and is nor too loose nor very tense. To go back to Barba, he has a very good balance always in that in his guitars. Ojala that one day I will find a guitar like that or find a solution for this one. because it was nearly 3k
