Hey, thanks to the magic of translation! So, basically classical guitars existed before truss rods! Then it is 'traditional' to build without one. There is no much more reason to it, you absolutely can build a classical with truss rods, some fabric made do have. Luthiers prefer not to because it is traditional, the guitar ends up lighter and, because the neck is way thicker and broader - so more stable - than in other guitars, you kinda don't n need them

Klasik gitarlar naylon tel kullanır, akustik veya elektro gitarlar metal tel kullanır ve tel gerilimi çok daha yüksek olur. Truss rod sapın öne eğilmesine karşı kuvvet uygular, (çift yönlü truss rodlarda hem arka hem ön eğilmeye karşı), klasik gitarlarda böyle bir eğilme beklenmediği için truss rod yok.

Hi. Great video . One question. If I have dead/wolf note will the patterns indedify were is the problem on the top? For example if a pattern has "gaps" in one side compared to the other, do i add mass or remove mass to make the patterns even? Thank you.
@crevelsguitars26 күн бұрын
A wolf note happens when one of the resonant frequencies matches exactly with a played note. They normally won't show up in the patterns because one the top is glued in place and receives the bridge the patterns shift a little in frequency. The pattern is useful to two things: to show if the top is too stiff (then you take out material everywhere), and to show the distribution of stiffness. If the pattern is wonky, not symmetric, you should find where it is stiffer and take some localized material of

I have problem with the F in 13th fret of 1st string. So I need to indedify where on the top I need to make the adjustments. It is lattice braced so the option of removing material is hard. I need to add mass. Somewhere under the bridge I guess bit I need to find where exactly. Thank you for the answer

Happy to see you back at it. I’m taking a break after my flurry of 5 guitars in a single year. I decided to enjoy my last one with and Engelmann spruce top. Gave two of the redwood tops away to family. Very satisfying to finally play the product of your efforts. I don’t make my rosettes and I admire the fact you do. They’re pretty unique, unconventional and I love them. And that fretboard is a stunner! Well done!

Hey Joey! Happy to be back at it. I had a detour into some orders that couldn't be filmed, and then other things. It is also good to take some time off building to just enjoy playing, and then it feels even better to start building again. Glad you like the rosette, must say I'm also proud of them!

What are the names of other guitar bracing patterns and their full names? -I have no idea what you were doing by vibrating the tea leaves but it was very interesting! I heard different tones for each pattern. Do you have any videos explaining it please? Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Hey! Great that you like the sound of it, that is the final goal, after all! And welcome to Lutherie! It is a very fulfilling hobby if I might say so myself. I started out as a hobbyist as well. Regarding your questions: - Anything straight-grained :D but really, straight grain and no runout make a world of difference. - From the Internet! Really, I did not go to guitar-building classes or work with a master. A woodworking background will greatly help, even though I had none. - Sure! Look for the books from Roy Courtnall and Irving Sloane, for construction methods. And Trevor Gore and Giulano Nicoletti for the Science behind the sound of the guitar (where you will see the reason behind the tea leaves). And youtube channels: OBrienGuitars and Pablo Requena, there is a lot there. I also learned and benefited so much from the folk at Delcamp Classical Guitar Forum, it is a platform where guitar builders (beginners, masters and everything in between) chat about guitar making, do check it out. - So, the most famous is Torres, these are the names of the great builders of Classical Guitars in History. There are several of such in Courtnalls book. - Its Chladni Patterns! In short, it helps me gauge stiffness and resonance in the soundboard. I have one video on "voicing the tops", though I do not explain ii in depth. There is plenty on the matter on Delcamp Forum. Cheers and happy building!

Depends on the extent of the armrest, really. This one is small and mostly only affects an area where the linings are. Affects? Yes, of course, but anything in a guitar affects. An external is also possible, but also affects the guitar as it adds weight to the sides. It's just a matter of preference.
