How to make laminated linings for classical or flamenco guitars

Here in this video I show how to make laminated linings for your Spanish guitar. In this case I am using cypress but you can use pretty much any wood you wish using this method.

You produce the best videos for building classical guitars. Thank you. I have built many, many steel string guitars, but am starting to build classicals, and your videos really clarify some steps that are different in classical building.

Dear Pablo, I find your videos very enjoyable to watch. The guitar you made for me in 2009 is still with me and sounding fabulous. Best wishes from London.

Good to see another video from you it's been a while, your method is very similar to that used by driftwood guitars (worth checking out they're channel) although they use a vac bag for the glue up. Watching you use the old seat belt I was thinking a ratchet strap maybe a good alternative if someone couldn't source a belt. Thanks for another great video 👍

Maestro, que usted piensa de los precios tan altos de algunas guitarra classicas hechas por luthiers como Stephen O'Connor, Smallman para mencionar algunos

[@redkitekk]

Que puedo decir…. Si venden a esos precios es porque hay gente que lo paga. Ahora bien, es una Smallman mejor que otra guitarra de 7,8 o 9 mill euros, o dólares, no necesariamente pero las cosas tienen el valor que le dan las personas.

@@redkitekk gracias Maestro por la contestación

I have a question dear Pablo .. I have a gerundino flamenco guitar and my problem is the saddle at the bridge seems to be stock and is hard to get out .. I wanted to take it out and put another one slightly lower in height .. do you have any suggestions as to how I can get it out without damaging the guitar?

Thanks Pablo. I use to laminate linings for my guitars. Usualy I use mahogany veneers (0,5 mm) so they are laminated from 9 strips and no need to bend them - I just glue them together in the mold (negative and poostitive). I use them both for the back and the top. What is your "philosophy" to use them only on the back side? Thanks.

[@redkitekk]

Thanks for your comment. I use linings only for the back. For the front I prefer individual blocks, peones.

Todo muy bien ,en español mucho mejor.

Put a ratchet on the belt

[@bbb12228]

Love the idea !

[@redkitekk]

For a belt this wide I would need a very big ratchet. I prefer this tensioner.
