Escribano -> A Flamenco practice/travel Guitar anyone? (Sep. 26 2003 18:53:25)

Whilst I am spending this year's bonus (pretty much all of it is going on flamenco this time [;)]), I have ordered one of these guitars:

I want to see if I can carry it in the car, trains and planes to practice at work, customer sites, on vacation etc., without disturbing anyone or damaging/losing my proper one.
It will need a bit of work to adapt to flamenco but it has a nylon, 650mm scale, classical neck width option. The only other one I have seen for flamenco is $1000!, Yamaha have their Silent Guitar but it's $600, longer and doesn't break down well, though the sound is great.
I'll add at least a lower golpeador (maybe with its own transducer mic mixed into the output). Probably benefit from some in-line reverb too. I'll be calling on Tom Whiteley for technical advice.
I'll let you know how it works out. If it does, I'll post an audio and my mods to the forum.
BTW - $300 in the US, £300 in the UK[:@]
