(1st Place) Making A Guitar Out Of Brad Angove - Full Build - GGBO Invitational
Переглядів 122 тис.Рік тому
What is the GGBO? Crimson Guitars kindly invited me to compete in their annual 'Great Guitar Build Off Invitational' - a challenge where a bunch of UA-cam woodworkers (and Brad Angove) compete to build the best guitar they can from a standardised kit. The guitars will then be raffled off, with the proceeds going to charity - in my case Macmillan Cancer Support. Enter the raffle here: www.greatg...

Making a 'Floating Top' Guitar (Full Build)
Переглядів 179 тис.3 роки тому
Plans: sellfy.com/cranmer-guitars For years now I've been obsessed with the relationship between the soundboard and the rest of the guitar. Most makers agree that the perimeter of the guitar top should be slightly thinner than the centre, allowing the top to vibrate more freely. This guitar build takes that idea to the next level by completely removing the perimeter, allowing the top to "float!...

This guitar, in particular, was important, as in ~1985 Ken Parker x-braced the soundboard, as well as reshaped the back and neck. In 2003, Ken Parker...

    verry impressive quality of build and proof of concept , seems loud for an avoustic so maibe youre ontoo sumting here you could use the ball ends of the guitarstrings under the top and clamp the string with two set screws intoo the tension rig i think that would make installing eazier and cleaner pull the string through pull the string tight and set the setscrews tension and cut the end of the strings , you could put the setscrew on the back or side of the block and not have them visable when mounted it might allso look better if you could mount those tensioners inside the body maibe have a wooden edge along the top where the strings feed through and intoo the tensioners , might mean slits in the side to be able to feed the strings in and reach the setscrews for the strings but the guitar whont look like a clunky tom with that metal on the side of it , you can probably use hexhead bolts sunk flush intoo the backboard of the guitar to tension , would look smoother and wil hardly be visable sumting else you might be able to try is have the strings holding the top on fan out from a central point in the tail of the guitar and have the tensioners in a tight row there , my idea with this is that the strings will drone at certain frequencies , might sound like a danelectro sitar though ua-cam.com/users/shortsrD-G2obehJw , might need to experiment using different thicknesses strings and tension to make it sound anywhere apealing

    Dear Cranmer - a kind observation... you have +60k subscribers and only ~230 comments. Perhaps they are like me, they are just speechless! You have shown and taught me so much in a few minutes versus the UA-cam trawling I've done for many months to try to find this same amazing outcome. I can see the parallels with the egg white to its use in grand master paintings as a stabilizer - intentional or not, this proves the use here is also to be considered in the same light. Many thanks, I really enjoy and appreciated your amazing art.
