Construction of an acoustic guitar - # 3

This time we will fund the construction of the guitar. in this case I chose for the back and sides flamed maple wood (curly Maple), which brought me usa.



first thing I did was correct a song from each of the 2 tables that formed the background. These tables were originally a single block. Once we open the half mirror effect, bone that we have a similar figure in each of the faces.






once we rectified edges to glue the two halves to form the bottom.
there are many ways to perform this step. I usually use one of the traditional methods. for this use 6 studs 2 "x 2", 3 wedges long rope. the operation of this method is basically that the tacos well maintained flat pieces making sure that the same will not break. With the rope and wedges exert the necessary pressure for pressing the parts during bonding.



now we already have one piece of about 4.5 mm (approximately) we will work the thickness of the bottom.
for this use sandpaper and scraper.







once achieved the thickness (3.5 mm approx) we glue the strengthening of the medium, in this case Red Cedar (a against grain), and then bottom bars, which in this guitar I made of mahogany.



these bars give you the "pump" needed to fund because they have a specific radio and in turn are pressed with a bed that has the same radio.

this was all for today.

Fund Construction of an acoustic guitar - the mast # 2

This week will see the construction of the neck or neck of the guitar.

did the same mahogany (Mahogani) laminated with incense.

the photo is Jonnhy, future owner of the guitar, proving the convenience of the mast.

I left a block of mahogany, which then opened to the media. rectified once both sides assemble a laminate with a stick of incense and two plates so Guatambu achieve a particular aesthetic. although the laminate gives a very nice aesthetic detail, the main reason of it is giving us greater mast structure.

after a cut of 15 ° for the blade (head) and so finally we have the mast in the rough.

in this instance, we have both edges square, make the channel where anger later placed the tensor (soul). for this purpose used a Makita workpieces with a 4mm drill.

to the top of the head used a Guayubira cutting, remnant of the first Hawaiian guitar. also add two plates (black and white).

and gluing the top of your head ...

cue to use two blocks Mahogany 2 "of the same taco leftovers to use for the mast.

and is now carving, carving and sanding ...

Note:

This is one of the many ways to build an acoustic guitar. is very common to see that they are constructed in 2 parts: first the neck and the other the body. in this case chooses to build with the traditional English method, which is to manufacture the parts separately and go uniting all as a ROPME-heads, starting from the junction of the handle with the soundboard .

be until next week. Alex
