MiSz -> My first guitar: Tensions during soundbox assembly - is it very bad? (Mar. 15 2013 7:09:03)
|
Hi guys, first of all - thanks for all the information i got until now during the last weeks from this forum! It could not be possible for me to get this far with my work without your help! Here is a few information about me: I have finished my medicine studies just a few weeks ago and now I'm waiting for the first job. I wanted to use this free time for my dream - building flamenco guitars. I am building a Reyes Model after Mr. Blackshear's plan. Materials: cedro neck, haselfichte top, birdseye maple back and sides. My problem is: During the assembly process i noticed that the sides were not 100% fitting, so i had to plane the top side after bending a little bit again and clamped them down in the mold - otherwise they would not fit perfect to the top. Same thing with the back: To get the right form, i have to push here and there sides a little bit to fit the back. My question is: Am i right, that this tensions while the assembly process will have a really bad impact on the final sounding of the guitar? On the other side, in the strung-up guitar there are lots of Newtons pulling on the top causing a lot bigger tension - but of course only the necessary one. I would be so thankful for any advice! (Even if it does not improve my mood, perhaps it would improve my skills for the next guitar) Thanks!
