Planing the fingerboard for adjusting the neck angle, is a thing that is done sometimes to make a Classical action more flamenco. One problem though is that very often the breakangle over the saddle becomes to low and the guitar looses the tone you once liked. So take it to a Luthier that knows about breakangles and flamencoguitars. Anders

To Aron This loosening the back at the upper bought and foot interests me, and I know exactly what you are talking about. Does it imply to renew the bindings and purfling? I mean, you´ll use heat (and maybe moist) to loosen, and then the bindings/purflings will go loose as well. But is it possible to reglue the part which is loose? Thanks (nothing like a good trick) Anders

Hola Anders I once took a worn Reyes with this problem to Reyes. He suggested removing the back, adjusting the angle and fitting a new back. I was a bit horrified and suggested a new fingerboard. After a bit of humming and hawing, he agreed. The guitar turned out well. Sean
