Thought you said he taped it, now you say glue. Also I didn't know that classical players play with their fingers UNDER the strings, no wonder I am not a fan of their tone. Finally I am not 100% sure, I would have to see the guy's guitar but I suspect that it might have had an issue in the initial construction phase, particularly when the back gets put on in the Solera, where the NECK ANGLE might not have been correct for flamenco style guitars....but I am no luthier.

He taped it until he found the right spot to glue, which he did.
Ethan and I were having around robin of sarcasm over the neck angle, because a high saddle is not a guitar made for flamenco. But someone hell bent on adapting it ....it was in 1998 and I believe it was a worn out but once good Paracho guitar with a thick finger board...eventually you see everything.

$150.00 guitar, he had TAP plastic store cut him a chunk of plex, taped, then glued. He was collector of super cheap guitars that he did weird surgeries on.

My buddy had a cheap paracho guitar with super high bridge...I explained why it was not good for flamenco and neck angle issues etc....next time I saw him the finish on the neck of the guitar was all cracked...he said he heat bended the neck foward so he could lower the bone!!! [8|]

On cheapass guitars there are drastic measures to set a neck you would not want to do on real guitars. One is rout the back binding off and coax the back off and reset the neck and glue it back on.Then replace the original binding with something gawdawful, like Sika Flex caulk. HAHA

The idea makes me laugh. [:D][:D]

I detect sarcasm: " Also I didn't know that classical players play with their fingers UNDER the strings, no wonder I am not a fan of their tone. "

Why cheapass guitars? This seems like a reasonable way to correct the problem on any guitar. I've done it several times myself.
