quote:
Steven, it seems you don't like talking about guitars and don't want anyone else to. I´m going to stay in my dry Scandinavian line, and so, I have to apologize that I go back on topic. No sarcasm or irony this time. Just nerdy observations. Many flamenco guitars with cedar tops have problems because the soundboard is to thin. Cedar is a lot lighter and softer, so it has to be treated on its own premisses. When I final thickness a Cedar soundboard, I try to use my thickness gauge as little as possible. Instead, I use my fingers and compare with other soundboards. In the end my cedar tops normally end up being the same stiffnes and weight than my spruce tops, but they are some 0,3 - 0,4mm thicker. Cedar and spruce will always sound different. Why? because they are different woods. Just like cypress and mahogany, and rosewood and maple and etc. always will have their own sound characteristics. But when when I listen to good players playing good guitars, I like both cedar and spruce tops. I have absolutely no problems there. Good players with good guitars normally sound good to me. And thats it. In the end, the builder is WAY more important than the wood.
