Bouchet played flamenco, made classicals - same old story. Reyes made his slots half inch wide too, up until late 1970s. Half inch wide slots quite common on older Spanish work. Pre 70s. Nothing wrong with it. I would hasten to add that Flamenco guitar today looks like a rode hard whore with too much make up and fake tits. Everything nuanced and poetic has been bred out of the Spanish model by moderns trying to make the model updated, tough and industrial strength. They screwed it up, even the Spaniards. The modern guitar is a gutter snipe, and the American stamp on it was the final plunge of the sword. The guitar is ruined really, it never was meant to be modernized, it's a travesty. Bah, patoooey, I spit in the whole idea of anything modern in relation to the Spanish model. It ended with late Reyes....if not before.
