She said she would prefer smaller then standard width, but she would definitely like it to still feel wider then her steel string. So it seems like 48-49mm is a good compromise. I think I will go with that and a 24" radius fingerboard. Not quite a crossover, but it should feel very proportional...

well, she's not a customer, she is my girlfriend, hopefully she will be my fiancee before too long. But I will talk to her and see what she thinks.

I think if she is open to it, I will copy the martin dimensions.

Hi Chuck, Sorry, I can't watch youtube with the internet we have in Papua New Guinea but She can play a standard classical, she can very well. I just want to make the guitar ideal for her, and the standard width is probably not ideal. I don't want to commit a heresy, but I do want to make the string...

Hi, so I am making my first acoustic using "tradition and technology" and I am basically following the book, but the guitar will be for my girlfriend who has, small but strong hands, and is a very skilled player. The string spacing and fingerboard width of her Ibanez steel string feels ver...

Wow, Ok. Thanks for all the really great and informative responses. I will go with a tenon joint instead of the traditional one. I just feel like it would be a shame to have the instrument become unplayable after a few years of warping, and have no way to correct it. I will also probably do away wit...

I have never heard of thickness scraping, how does that work?

Hi, I have built an electric posted last year, and now I am excited about building my first acoustic. I have "guitarmaking tradition and technology" and I am planning on basically building the classical spanish guitar that he builds, but I am concerned about the neck/body joint. I live in ...

I think I am going to go with the LR Baggs Anthem system. they make a version of it called the stagepro that allows for some EQ and fading between the piezo and the internal mike, and also comes with a side-mount EQ/battery box. After a lot of review reading, the second hand impression seems to be t...

So I built a semi-hollow electric that I felt came out well, and now I am planning my first acoustic. I know I want to design it for amplified performances, so I was looking for preamps and pickups at stumac and it seemed to me like everything they offer is designed to be added to an already complet...
