Perhaps the posts have been a bit hard on you Mark! yeah, they're a hard lot, but i'm used to it by now.... ...only kidding![:D] seriously, i haven't felt the posts have been hard on me, 'cos i have been told before that it's better for the sound to make guitars smaller, i just wanted to sound out people on here for their opinions and ideas on the subject. I wouldn't want to ask any luthier to make some kind of Frankenstein monster they wouldn't be proud of, and actually this is all a bit hypothetical 'cos i don't actually have any money at the moment.... but one day! meant to get back to Anders on a few things; quote:
Also consider that adjusting to a very special guitar would mean that you wouldnt like to play other guitars. So no enjoying other peoples Reyes , Conde, Grundino etc. Scary, no? i agree, but as i have played with a guitar support for a long time and this is the best way for me that i have tried so far (including trad position, paco de lucia position, footstool/manolo sanlucar position, etc.) i would have to put guitar support on any other guitar i would play, and often people don't want suction cups on their guitar.... ok, sure i can play for a little while in PDL or footstool/MS position, but not for long.... the idea of a big false frame/body that a standard size guitar fits into has the potential, though, of being used to fit any standard size guitar into it.... yeah, ok, i know, it's just a bit too crazy, but a nice idea!

No seriously, If you cant get a right position with a Gitano support. (I´ve played with it as well) I think you have to work seriously with your sitting position. my sitting is fine, and like i said, with the guitar support is the best so far.... left hand is fine, and right hand fingers come on guitar ok, just that right hand wrist is a little too bent over, and i keep thinking that i want my forearm to be resting a little higher up than it does.... if the plantilla was wider it would do, and the wrist would be less bent.... i would love to have a webcam to show you exactly what i mean! quote:
I take for granted that you use it on the right leg as you should on a flamenco guitar and not on the left leg as supposed on a classical. yes, right leg, the guitar ends up in a more or less similar position to how you demonstrate holding the guitar in your video (thanks for posting that).
