CustomGuitarVideo.com | esomogyi.com This is a jewel amongst all the other Gourmet Guitars Videos. Ervin Somogyi took us on a journey into the depths of Custom Acoustic Guitar making. We figured that the discerning guitar maker as well as the Guitar Gourmet wants to get the whole story. Ervin is such an enlightening speaker that we decided to present the footage of his presentation completely unaltered. This is Part Two of the extended ERVIN SOMOGYI MASTER SERIES. Enjoy.

HOW can this ever be boring...sooo many people, builders incl, don't seem to get this...The resonance & tone yeah...but NO one else seems to appreciate how sound box amplitude & amplifiers work in the context of guitars & strumbed/picked instruments...they keep pouring eurathane all over everything, even epoxy, oh lord!!. Strings have 2/two...ends...The kneck also transfers energy into the sound box more than most can comprehend...you can feeeel it fgs!

Mr. Somogyi, thanks for an EXCELLENT video! I'm an aspiring luthier from Cape Cod, MA. I've always been intrigued by the science of acoustics in relation to instrument making. One thing that came to mind as I was watching this, was that the guitar body you're using as an example seems to have a fundamental note. I was wondering if you try to get a fundamental note (such as A, E, or D) when building a body? I've seen drum-makers use this technique to great effect. Best Regards from Cape Cod

7:34 I think the word was meant to be "stiffness"? the same thickness of wood may create variations in stiffness from piece to piece.
