 RE: Ultralight Flamenco (in reply to Andy Culpepper)

When Andy first started this project, La Pluma, I sent him a pm and mentioned I would like to have her. Anyway after a few stops here and there she is now in my hands, still fresh but not a young voice, give me a couple months, enough time to crush a few sets of wound strings, then I’ll come clean with my impressions.
Fit and finish are perfect, all the angles etc, easy rolling rosgiao, so easy to play…blew off my index nail working just before she showed, then my middle a few days later…

Told myself I would write up a review once I had a polished the silver off couple sets of strings, just about done with one set of stewed carrots (see upthread) and needto put on my standard, Augustine Blue high tension, then give it a go.
Sat down after seeing the last post on this thread with AC’s Pluma today and spent about an hour going back and forth with my latest light weight 666mm flamenca, trying to constructively describe the differences. Ha! Only thing I could come up with was the difference between your grandmothers apple pie and your great aunt, both were taught by your great grandmother, one has prettier crust and the other perfect apple slices. None of these make it taste better of course. And ya they don’t taste the same but they both taste great…
Of course Andy’s setup is impeccable and mine not quite there, same for his fit and finish, of course. The shorter 655mm of his is noticeable but not sure it’s the strings the scale or how we braced our tops, mine is not double top but there are some strips of 30k CF tow laterally in lew of a bridge patch and a couple more too
… ok this is what I’m thinking, Andy’s Pluma is more full and mine is more crisp. The Pluma has a nice bottom end grawl while mine is just as deep only a touch sharper, think mean bulldog verses Doberman.
I mentioned somewhere playing a Cullpepper is like a Farrieri race car…
