quote:
I have the feeling these guys think I am stupid or something. It was me who tried the guitar, so I know what I felt. There were literally NO room to lower the bone, and as I told many times, it was more then 3mm, I think it was at least 4mm. I dont think getting used to a very uncomfortable guitar should be natural. That gutiar was more like a classical guitar then a flamenco. The new one is much better, here is the photo made by Antonio. (My Pedro is even lower then this, without buzzing) I don’t think people think you’re stupid or anything like that, at least I don’t, it’s just that you’ve made specific claims about the guitar’s action when the picture you posted suggests you have neither the experience nor the tools required to take an accurate measurement. So it’s better to just say the action was higher than you’re comfortable with and leave it at that, I think. I really hope nothing I’ve said comes across like I’m putting you down, but I also think Antonio Rey deserves a fair shake, too. I mean, you’ve been playing, changing strings, and possibly putting enough wear on the first guitar to devalue it and you’re now getting a brand spanking new guitar in exchange to replace it. I think that shows a lot of good faith on the part of Antonio, he’s attempting to make things right, and that should be respected. The photo Antonio sent you is a good example of the correct way to take an action photo and it shows the action on the new guitar is very low, quite likely less than 2.5mm. If you’re accustomed to action even lower than that, then I think you’re going to come across a lot of perfectly great guitars that will feel uncomfortable to you. I’m not criticizing your technique or anything, it just shows you’re used to extremely low action. It’s not Antonio Rey’s fault if he didn’t realize that, especially if you didn’t tell him. Again, I’m not trying to belittle you and I know this experience hasn’t been any fun for you. People on the thread have been sincere and supportive, and everyone has expressed an interest in seeing this resolved in a good way. But that same spirit of generosity is going to apply to Mr. Rey, as well. People just want to see everyone treated fairly. I don’t think there’s any villains in this one.
