Ruphus -> RE: Hi from Bretagne (Nov. 6 2015 10:53:47)

Welcome Flamango,
since a while stuck to only 2 TV channels for technical reasons, I am watching TV5 Monde (where subtitles help me overcome my very rudimentary French skills) and with that seeing introductive documentaries on French provinces.
Me used to visit the capitol and the southern coast / think not much of the Bretagne.
Now learning through TV5 how diverse and beautiful this region actually is.
In respect of guitars, keep in mind that any climate away from average humidity values makes it worthwhile to respect its relevance. I estimate that you may be having rather high values there, which could also correspond to the string hight and bad intonation you describe with the Esteve (possibly fom top sunken in). (-BTW, my first own guitar was a Hohner. Quite a dud.)
So, should you come to aquiring yourself a better guitar, try to avoid specimens built in rather dry climate. Should it be from Spain, for instance origin of Valencia may be rather suiting, and costal stems like say with shops in Granada.
These days shops can be humidity controlled (duriing assembly), but your best bet are second hand guitars (unless you go with one of the luthiers on the foro, which means great bang for the buck), and those if older / vintage may have been built under natural conditions.
