Skai -> RE: crack! Can I repair it myself ? (Feb. 2 2006 10:05:35)

For our climate, it is generally safe (or not very dangerous) when we keep guitars in air-conditioned rooms. So there are no problems in shops here since the air-con is turned on most of the time.
But our climate might warp guitar necks if we don't watch out. I have a classical guitar destroyed by the weather here. Pathetic sustain and intonation problems after these 3 years. And it's an Alhambra which still sounds excellent, not some lousy brand.
Understandably, I only like rich sounds in classical guitars, not flamenco. I've a rather heavy touch as well but yet the guitars at Tomas don't capture my attention at all. Which model does it happen to be?
As for the cracks, I think it is highly possible in extreme weather conditions. Looking at Henrik's guitar, my heart aches for him. Whether it affects tone or not, no decent guitar should be cracked that bad, it's just not right!
The 7Fc has frankly very little flamenco tone, but Henrik, it makes for a great classical guitar for Spanish classical masterpieces! You just need to raise the action a wee bit and it's a wonderful guitar. I've had much luck with playing classical on it. Tone changing is quite controllable, decent volume, ease of playing.. It's a great classical guitar, somewhat like what Roland Dyens uses, not something with long sustain and rich sounds, but something lively with verve. [;)]
