ORIGINAL: Anders Eliasson quote:
Since he wants to raise the action wouldn't it be better, he either shaved more, or, shaved and left it as is? Ricardo, I dont understand... Ed. Any good luthier can do this. If they dont understand flamenco guitars, You´ll have to explain what you want. Sorry. I mean, what you described sounds like a way to maintain the action he has now over the fingerboard, while being able to lower the bone. Sounded like his action over the board was too low. If he shaved the ebony board down and refretted, he would be in effect "raising" the action. But then to lower the bone would be back to where he was before? So all I was saying is that if he wants a cleaner sound, he COULD shave the fingerboard, but then not lower the bone, or if the idea is to lower the bone AND raise the action over the fingerboard, he might have to have less than 5mm of ebony, meaning shave more then you suggested. Make sense? Also, if the ebony gets shaved un evenly, like more at the 12th fret as you meantioned, won't the intonation get messed up? Or does that get worked out when the new frets go in? Ricardo
