The guitar is a yellow cedar with spruce and in general following the 1912 Ramirez/Santos Hernandez pattern. Not an exact copy. It is the second YC I have done. The other was similar, not as loud and possibly had a bit more treble sustain but no way of doing a direct comparison as it is gone. The current one has a marginally thinner top.soundwise it is a good guitar, I particular like the basses. With a pitch around f it has a fundamental tone, loud and bold, but transparent and with good separation. The trebles are articulate, but are lacking a bit of sustain. Due to the yellow cedar probably the first string is dead quite soon after picking. As action is quite low, this guitar would fit perfectly as flamenco guitar
One thought is to use double sides on the next one. Any other thoughts as to what avenues I should explore? I think it is worth doing another yc pretty soon so as to try and address this.
Or maybe I should just stick a scratch plate on and flog it as a flamenco and forget about it
