fully understand your concern, however I don't think you would have a problem with a 54mm nut. 2mm over the standard shouldn't cause you any hardships as the difference is quite small. The action is nice and low and it takes very little pressure to fret a chord, even a barre chord down on the neck... Sig-- As of right now I am playing on a Takamine Classical CP132SC electric/accoustic and I have to say the the 2 inch nut which converts to 50.8 mm is feeling very comfortable to my hands... The only way I would be willing to try this guitar that you mention is if I lived in the same state and could go over and play... quote:
My advice is do not buy the Conde EF5. For the cost of $800 to $1200 you can obtain a good new guitar with no flaws or cracks, and with a 52 mm nut, which is what you want. These EF5s are not really made by Conde in the first place. As Ricardo wrote, it most likely was made by Sanchis or someone else in Valencia for Conde. They can be good guitars, but in this case you would be putting out a lot of money for a guitar that is already flawed. And who knows what other flaws it may have besides the crack. Keep your money and wait for a guitar you really feel confident is in great shape and that you feel comfortable buying, including nut size, scale length, and the shape of the neck. When you finally find the guitar you really want, you will be glad you waited. Patience, my friend, patience. It will pay off in the long run. Hi Bill, Thanks for your reply....Again, I am happy I posted on the forum and asked for advice on this guitar...My friend who plays flamenco and lives in the same State told me to "go over and check it out and so what if it has a crack, it is a CONDE" Well, that is why I posted because to me any kind of crack even a flaw is something I don't want..... I really think an "oval D shape" neck and 51 mm nut with a 650 scale would be a good guitar for me! Most flamenco are flat C shape neck...No good for me... Kalo
