Deflection testing for consistency. Wilborn Guitars

Here’s how I use this shopmade jig to help insure that all my guitars sound similar.

It IS helpful. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! Intense data. Almost rocket science. You build great guitars, Ben! Thanks for sharing

[@alandust2188]

Great Jig.....wish you had more detail on the build. Thanks!

[@octoBadger]

I like it, that's a nice idea, thanks for sharing

[@DarkGuitars]

Any chance you have plans for this jigsaw available? Seems like a nice sturdy design

[@davidthebiker2955]

Thanks for showing this!!

[@DarrenForbes]

This is science.

Thank you so much! do you know where can i find some information on classical guitar top deflection ranges in different species? Thanks for the valuable info and greetings from Argentina!

How much weight?

[@ggergg6423]

I believe my weight is around 5-6 lbs, but really just need to find a weight and be consistent with it. If you have a top with known specs that worked well for your style of building, just measure deflection on it and you are then in the ballpark.
