[Sorry, I reposted this under the Lutherie topic (makes sense?), but wasn't able to delete it from here! I hope I won't be angering the foro gods. Feel free to delete from here] Hello, comrades! I bought two guitars from Pedro Maldonado a couple of years back, one blanca and one negra (both Rondas). After a while, I have discovered that if I place a (metal) ruler on the fretboard starting from the nut, there's a small gap (1mm?) between the ruler and the middle fret bars. This means that the neck curves a bit. I had three different professional flamenco guitarists try it out and they didn't really notice a difference in playability, though compared to the other guitar, the action is higher. Now that I'm selling the guitar, I'm faced with the question of whether I should "fix" the neck first or sell it with that caveat. Living in Doha, Qatar, I have no option to take it to a luthier. The question is: what would Paco do? The blanca sounds more flamenco, but I hardly play it and I'd rather sell it. Attached are some pics. El Babilonio
