Acoustic Guitar Construction

I've managed to run a first test of my setup, and recorded a reasonable sounding (and looking) track from my most recent classical build. I'm just trying to get the audio setup roughly calibrated, so I'm using a completely built instrument (strung up to tension) to test the apparatus. I'll post pict...

After completing my 3rd classical build, I feel like I've got a handle on the woodworking challenges. I still have a lot to learn, and it will be several more builds before I feel confident with every step of the process, but for now I feel like I know what I don't know. Right now I'm becoming inter...

Thanks everyone. It'll be a month or two before I tackle the repair (finishing up a build at the moment), but I'll post the results when I do.

I think the crack is reasonably well aligned. Would I fill with a mixture of epoxy and rosewood sawdust for coloring?

Wow, it's been nearly a year since I've updated my progress. Guitar #002 was finished and strung up sometime last October or thereabouts. Construction proceeded fairly routinely, with a few notable exceptions. At one point I managed to sand completely through the top to the tail block. The next few ...

Somehow the side of one of my classical guitars was severely cracked - I suspect while I was transporting it in a soft gig bag, somebody closed a hatchback rather forcefully on it. The crack is right along the middle of the side, with the grain, and I'm wondering how one might go about repairing it?...

Hi all, I'm not even done with my current build and I'm already drooling over the possibility of a "fifth guitar" (a classical tuned a fifth lower than standard tuning) for playing the Bach cello suites. Otto Vowinkel builds and sells one on his page . His specs list a scale of 720 mm - at...
