Forget about tone woods! All you need is an old suitcase:

It's a link to a video on the GSI website. Apparently it is not on Youtube.

The ignorance of the photographer to sort of equal a trash builder with an accomplished luthier irks somehow, but the bit about the Romeros with the quality video and audio compensates for the cluelessness of the "moderator".

Thank you for the link!

PS:
And it s a shame how those prefectly conditioned vintage suitcases are being needlessly butchered for gimmicks. I only wished to find such a quality leather build as guitar case these days.

PS:
First time I heard a good piece of tonewood like that guitar back tapped.
Wow! Almost like a frame drum!
I never throught it to possibly be that bold!

the suitcase "luthier" looks like a character from the t.v series kung fu. would a nylon soft suitcase count as a traveling guitar?
