Love the scientific approach to tune the top, the radius on the fretboard and the overall guitar appearance. But you really need a good classical player to do the demo. A good classical piece would show the real potencial of the guitar. The volume, the dynamic, the overtones, the sustain etc.

Cool. Lots of work!

Дякую, що поділилися ! Thank you!

Very cool guitar, but we gotta hear the low string to hear the guitars resonance. ;)
-
You have crafted a beautiful guitar 🙂
-
Very good to see the whole process. Many different skills involved. I would suggest a bigger flat surface when bracing for stability.

Great Job

goodluck. Indonesian Jawa people say Telaten mesti panen.

What are the specific design aspects or components of this instrument that define it as a "modern" classical guitar, as opposed to traditional classic?
-
Interesting take on the traditional Fan bracing (I'm all for improving or changing 'tradition'). Would be nice to hear it played by a classical guitarist who finger picks, not criticizing your playing but it just sounds a little 'thin'. But I see you were using a plectrum, so I can't tell if it's the bracing pattern or the pick that is making it lose some of that 'fullness' usually associated with Classicals. Plus it's a Spruce as opposed to Cedar so that would shift the frequencies upward a bit. What is your thinking behind not running the linings all the way around the rest of the soundboard from the bevels? Just interested, and thanks for posting your process.

Bei diesen weiten Abständen der Jahresringe kann ich mir nicht vorstellen, dass das eine engelmann-Decke ist.. ?

Not easy to work with that "khaya" if it's the same than Acajou or Samanguila.
