mqbernardo -> RE: Short sustain blanca (Dec. 28 2017 0:18:02)

well, my last guitar was a blanca. i tried to do it by the book. light top, low top dome, parallel struts, no closing bars, spaced peones gluing the top to the rim, 1.8 mm cypress sides, no side struts, light 3 braces 2.2 mm back, light cedro neck. i did use geared tuners but the guitar ended up weighting 1250 grams overall. bridge was 6 mm high at the front, wings were 3 mm high, bridge weighted 12.5 grams. last week i had a local conservatory teacher trying that guitar (the only one i had available) and he complemented its "singing trebles and concert classical sound, with lots of sustain". go figure. the guitar does have a sweet character and doesn't´t sound too flamenco to me, but it was only my 2nd flamenca and i´m far from schooled in the subject. sustain is ok i guess. so, to your question, i have no idea. i´d suspect light construction, light sides, responsive back, low and light bridge (low impedance) would get me there.
