Haithamflamenco -> classical guitar flamenco set up (Apr. 10 2007 23:39:36)

hi guys,

any body have an experince to adjust the basic classical guitars (like :yamaha c40) to be more suitable for flamenco use?!?!

the action of the guitar is very high, the distance between strings and the finger board,

how to make the guitar low action as low as possible with no=too much buzzzing?!?!

some guys also make the neck more thinner!!! how thin they is the limit?

Get a nice flat file or some 100 grit sand paper and sand the back of your bridge until it's just right. It takes time. You just start with a safe minimum and then put it back on. Then tune it up and check for buzzes. Keep doing this tell until it's low but not to low, if you screw up put a piece of thin credit card or piece of sandpaper cut just right to fit under the saddle to bring it up. You can also buy a sheet of tap plate for about 15 bucks and cut and fit it yourself, but be care ful puting it on they stick like you wouldn't believe. Also start using like Savarez alliance or la bella strings. I dont think those augustines are to great.


Sorry just spit that out, it should help[:)]
