breeder -> Problem! (Aug. 1 2006 4:54:42)

hi

i bought my guitar before 2 years.It is alvaro classical guitar,i dont know it is a good guitar or not but is good enough for me right now.At the time a listen rock and play it a couple of months and i was bored and i stoped.
Before some time i start to play a little and i discovered a problem.
I think my fingers are to thin for spacing beetween strings.
I dont know much about guitar and playing,but i feel that i need less spacing beetween strings.I hope you will understand this because my english is poor[:D]
From my thinking only thing what i can do here is to replace nut,with some nut with less spacing holes about 1mm less,than if i move first string 1mm up,that leave us that 6th string will be 4mm lower than normal.
And because the "bridge" has not any hole i got to make holes on a bridge.
And because don't know a thing about guitar reparing or anything, is this possible to do,and after repair is guitar "playeble",or a need to buy some guitar with less wide neck or something [:D]?
And one more thing. Strings height at bridge is 13 mm i think they are high,what is a "lowest" height to they can go?

You've got so many questions/problems in your post that it is difficult to answer.

13mm string height is far too high to play flamenco, a good guitar would be 8mm but the fingerboard angle on your guitar might not be able to take strings this low.
Most guitars have fairly standard neck width 50-53mm so I am surprised to read that you feel you have to re-space the strings. I am no expert but I think this would be almost impossible to do without replacing the whole bridge.[&:]

Best advice I can give is that you should sell your guitar in original condition and find one that you feel comfortable with.

Sorry
Jim.

yes I think that too. Dont try to manipulate the settings by yourself. It will have a bad ending.
Sell it. Maybe there are players who can handle your guitar. But nobody buys guitars which are manipulated.Try find a better one.

The best tool for practising Flamenco is a proper Flamenco guitar. if you're serious about Flamenco, then you should consider buying one. If not, then just keep your classical guitar the way it is.

Heheh, yeah... I tried a comb-over haircut like Paco's once to see if it would improve my playing.

It didn't.
