Classical Guitar Craftsmanship
school project, 2015
Making of a classical guitar according to the traditional Spanish method. The project is based on a 1944 Hermann Hauser guitar.
The Spanish method
The assembly of the body, starting from the soundboard bracing glueing, was made into a pre-formed solera. This technique allows increasing the sensitivity to the pluck and the resistance to atmospheric humidity changes.
The shellac finish
The guitar was finished with many thin coats of shellac applying with a rubbing pad according to the traditional technique of French polishing. This very elastic type of finishing doesn't limit the vibrations of the instrument, leading to an increase in volume and sound quality.
Wood essences
Spruce soundboard, flamed maple back and sides, cedar neck, ebony fingerboard, rosewood bridge and veneer, walnut bindings.
