fromano -> RE: Headstock angle (Mar. 8 2021 2:59:51)

Hello, Very useful information here, although an old thread. I started working on my first Flamenco guitar based on Tom Blackshear's plans for the Manuel Reyes blanca. The plan called for a 13 degree headstock angle. Then I measured the headstocks of the two flamencos I own, a Vicente Carrillo blanca, and a Felipe Conde negra. Surprisingly both guitars have 19 degree headstock angles. I was worried 13 Deg in the Reyes plan would not be enough, or not very flamenco for some reason. But apparently not, so I'll stick to that. Still curious that both Felipe Conde and Vicente Carrillo use a 19 degree headstock. The Carrillo blanca sounds amazing (2002 year), and very much how I picture a Reyes would sound (never had one). The plantilla has the same shape as the Tom Blackshear plans for the Reyes.
