Thanks alot sir, I really appreciate so much to follow your advice to file my classical guitar saddle and produce great result. I am Bernard Chin fron Malaysia age 72.
I agree. Pablo is a superb teacher as well as luthier. His tips, hints and jig ideas are worth the small price of this course, let alone the invaluable content. Highly recommended.
I bougt this video series and I strongly recommand it to anyone interested in making its own instrument! Every steps are there and explained in details by Pablo.
I'm with you completely. Not only is it a thorough online course, Pablo is extremely responsive to queries and is unfailingly helpful in his answers. Great course.
Thank you for your videos. I have watched many of them, and they are very informative and helpful.
Thank you so much for videos......but if you can show us how to make sanding and repaint for guitar
Hi Pablo, Love your videos you have a very good presentation, and informative way of teaching. I’ve learned a lot about the traditional Spanish guitar construction. Keep up the good work and all the best to you!
Thank you so much for your comments. It means a lot coming from you.
Dear Mr Requena,
Thanks a lot for your excellent (free) video tutorials. I'm a hobbyist and I'm going to build my 14th classical guitar now. Most of my guitar building skills I've learnt from your video tutorials. Today I would like to ask you if you can give any advice regarding the thickness of a Ceder top in general. And, if you usually choose a stronger bracing compared to a Spruce top.
Most of my guitars were built with a Spruce top, only one was built with a Ceder top (3,2 mm). And I'm not really happy with the sound of that instrument. Everything is ok, with exception of the 5th A string - it is louder than the other ones and has do be played carfully. Have you got any simple explanation for that phenomenon?
Since I'm going to build my 2nd guitar with a Ceder top very soon I would appreciate it very much if you respond to my question. Unfortunately there are no detailed information availalbe in the internet regarding this topic.
I've watched all your (free) video tutorials and I'm looking forward to your next video project. I hope you will continue this series.
Best regards
Hi Dieter,
I am very pleased you found my videos to be helpful.
In terms of the dominant A string I would think that the reason for this is that the main body resonance of your guitar is A . This is not so straight forward to change, in my course that is available on line I explain how to achieve a lower body pitch much more friendly for the guitar. Sorry, I would tell you what it is if we where taking of just one thing you need to do but it is rather a concept that you need to have in mind all along the construction of your guitars and it involves to work the timbers in a certain way to get to the right result at the end. I hope this makes sense.
In terms of the thickness for a cedar top, here there isn’t also an easy answer. The thickness will depend on the flexibility of the board that you are using. If you use a fairly strong top then the 3.2 mm that you have done before is too thick. You would need to be working more in the 2.7/ 2.8 mm mark to get more quality of the soundboard. I would work the top and do the strutting in a similar way to what I would do for a spruce top. Again you will find in my course in depth info about how I make the spruce top.
I hope this helps.
@@redkitekk Dear Pablo, I'm happy to get a verry quick and real helpful response from you. I'm sure, you are right with the main body resonance. I had in mind that Ceder tops should have 3 mm thickness at least in general, otherwise te bass notes don't work properly.. - ok, that was not the best advice, obviously..
I will keep your advices in mind and will not any longer regard 3 mm as the physical lowest limit. I'll try to find out, what my top is actually needed..
Thanks a lot for your help an stay healthy
Dieter
It seems that the A string, and the low A note, is quite critical in general, on acoustic guitars too.
I have a Yamaha FS820 (small body) that has a "booming" open A string, and on other acoustic guitars I have seen that the A string is critical, and the notes around low A on the low E string can give some problems too.
Hi Pablo I'm trying to open an account on your site for buying some videos but don't receive any activation mail, can you help me please?
Hi Andrea, sorry we are doing maintenance work on the website at the moment. can you send me an email and I will reply explaining.
Thank you
@@redkitekk Hi Pablo I'am not in a rush so can wait, no problem, just tell me when the site will be okay. About my email I don't think it's a good idea making available to anyone...
