I agree Ricardo, I personally have never taken any measurements of a guitar. I don't think that's necessary....If the luthier who made it thought it should be like that, then who am I to say it's not? Just play the damned thing. If I am so pernickerty as to assume my technique and playing style is so sensitive, that I need just the exact guitar to suit my fantastic and very sensitive style... (and not lack of technique) Then I would think I'm living in a Fool's Paradise frankly! So many discussions of guitars, makers, strings.... Paco de Lucia's own guitar will not make you sound any better than you do. There is a two-step to this IMO. 1.The Technique 2.The Guitar The "dry", "percussive" tone you hear from a good Flamenco guitar is a combination of these two elements IMO. A great Flamenco guitar will not make you sound más Flamenco unless you hit it just right. If you hit a great Classical guitar just right, it won't sound Flamenco... It's a marriage between the two IMO. cheers Ron
