Hi, I want to make a guitar suitable for Bossa Nova/Samba accompaniment como Joao Gilberto. I have some 25 year old Indian rosewood that I want to use. As there will be some melodic soloing, possibly even with a plectrum, should I make a flamenca negra for the low action or a classical guitar for the greater resonance - but with the higher action? Maybe I could make a classical and lower the action a bit? What sorts of swings and roundabouts might be hidden? As far as I understand it, a flamenco set up allows greater playability and speed, more attack but less resonance. The classical affords greater depth but is harder to play. I don't know whether lowering the action on the classical would affect this depth of sound. I also have some 25 yr old mahogany for the neck - I don't suppose the age has much to do with it, unless we're talking about soundboards, which unfortunately, we're not. From previous posts I'm not going to use an undersaddle p/u. Thanks. Grosseiro Gilberto.
