Почему у мальчика такая странная прическа?

Excellent thank you

Now have trees tod I classical guitar

I feel like it's a by product of mass producing guitars....I'm sure when they are making a lot, they don't want to worry about how straight the neck is...this is a way of ensuring they are all straight..I've tryed this myself(hobbyist) there is no need for a truss rod....and I used pine...like I said, testing...but it was fine...quarter sawn ofc. I'm sure if I used a heavy guage string I would need to take out the relief by hand and it would possible cup a little...but I stand by this...no need, if you do it right.

I'm wondering why you straightened the neck under tension (with the strings on)? That would mean that neck is backbowed when you remove the strings and level the frets. Am I missing something?

My Spanish made classical Guitar is 10 years old and the string heights are perfect without a truss rod. If I put steel strings on a classical guitar the neck would bend.

True the Acoustic Guitar and Electric Guitar has steel strings which put a lot more force on the neck of the guitar. The basic shape and size of the neck for the Acoustic and electric guitars has not changed from the Classical guitar.

I understand from another RUclips video for a classical guitar the "tabla" just where the neck sits (when assembling the guitar face down) slopes down by 3mm. Hence when the guitar is on its back the neck slopes up by 3mm.

There is one for sale on Reverb now

I'm not understanding how the neck can be anything other than flat with the upper bout since the fingerboard is. I have always thought the slight decline in the lower bout, below the sound hole, exists to allow the strings to be tightened without causing the fretboard to bow up over time. Otherwise, why not adjust this all with the nut and saddle? (I am a novice & asking this seriously.)

This is bullshit clickbait, of course guitars need a truss rod, even carbon necks. Nothing on earth can resist the string tension over time and you know it, might stay flat-ish for a few years but 20+!!?? Get the fuck out of here dude...

Hello Boez, I hope you and your family are doing fine. Anna Majkowski

This man is a treasure.

A good proof that wood doesn’t matter in electric guitars

Why?🤷

The problem speared when metal strings started. Metal strings have much higher tension. That’s why they didn’t need them back then.

That guitar sounds immaculate even through RUclips quality audio!!! I can feel that guitar through my headphones. Very well constructed!!!

David Schramm has an excellent RUclips video on how to set a neck angle. There are a number of different ways to do this.

Thank you for your explanation. Very thorough and to the point.

Why would you make a guitar with a neck angle?

One amazing talented gifted guitar builder. Most don’t appreciate his talent and skill. He’s given more than most, hopefully he will continue ❤️

Thank you for your generous spirit and sharing your skill. I’m late to the party. 🦬

Why empty a neck, weaken it by removing wood and then place a bar that serves to strengthen it?

It is harder to make steel string necks than classical necks. There is just more to it. Though newbies often obsess over the "difficultly" while experts are going to have no real difficulty either way. But the idea that classical guitar magicians are doing something incredible with magic wood is ridiculous. It is standard woodworking. I have never had one bend out of shape. Making a neck that has all that going for it plus has a channel designed to bend the neck as required is just more. These days making guitars that are structurally sounds and pretty is not even hard. There is so much information, and the materials have never been better. I think we rapidly crossed that point 30 years ago, when video came out. But making guitars that sound right out of all the different material choices takes a lot of experience. A famous maker did a huge book on the subject a while back, and the book had nothing in it on how to get to a good sound. He obviously had his formula, but he couldn't explain it. The reason companies do Ok is because the flood the market with good guitars and people can then choose on they like. Luthiers have to make every guitar saleable, one hopes to the person that ordered it. Boaz is highly regarded. I have followed his work back from when he was working with Schneider, over 20 years ago. I admire his guitars.

1958 premier scroll. brazilian rosewood neck. no truss rod. I use 11 through 50 flatwounds. I bend 3 and 4 sometimes as many as 5 strings at a time, and I sometime do not to so much as adjust a single tuning peg for 2 or 3 weeks

Best 15mins of my life. Tx for this.

I couldn’t agree with you more, exactly

Make sure your guitar has a truss rod. Micro tilt is handy too… Many times things evolve from historic error and ignorance.

Over the years the saddle of my José Bellido 1980 Flamenco has had several sandings to maintain low action. But this can only be done so many times. So today I shawed 1,5 mm of the bridge and will stem out the trench for the saddle to go lower yet another 1 mm. Why this is nessesary I never understood? I´ve been told this critical aging problem i common with flamenco-guitars. So if only builders would give a little more room for ajustment. Almost wish I had bought a regular - almost - bridge-sanding has become part of the flamenco experience:)

How did you drill the fret holes for the Delrin Rod? @boazElkayam

He's nuts. The neck angle is the same on both types, the lower string height/action that's required by the flamenco style is simply achieved with a thinner bridge, not by angling the neck back....

I just learned about this from the guitologist update. I am sorry for all the trouble you are having but man, I hope you're able to get it sorted. I would totally buy and play this.

Marty is like... nope.

Hi I am building my second flamenco guitar, made a tabla with an angle for the neck. Off course the neck is straight. To make the flat fit with the soundboard, should I shave the same angle in the wood block of the neck were I glue the soundboard on.? And how to correct this angle for the fretboard before gluing on the other side of the soundboard.

I don't buy the explanation. I have seen fine guitars with premium materials and builds on Classical, Steel String Acoustics, Flamenco's, and Electric Guitars that have Truss Rods. Saying you did not see it on original instruments such as a Torres does not really amount to much because the guitar is always evolving and sometimes that evolving includes improvements that even Torres made on his guitars compared to earlier guitars before his time. The reality is that on old guitars like Torres, gut strings were used, not nylon and definitely not steel strings. This is a big reason why you don't see Truss Rods on really old guitars. The reality is that all wood can bow or bend regardless of quality of wood, cut, or build. If you don't believe me, take a finely built guitar and expose it to the a hot and humid climate for a long period and then expose it to a dry and cool climate for a long period. Do so at your own risk because I would never do so.

I feel his frustration! Damit, just make a bumper that don't fall

so essentially, Boaz Elkayam is con artist who took hundreds of thousands of dollars in preorders and crowdfunds but never delivered any instruments. 3 years and no product but plenty of excuses. a scam is a scam is a scam.

2 years ago and the guitar is still not completed. When will you update the backers Boaz? Why are you scared to communicate?

Is it me or is there something lacking on the sound . Like body

Excellent description! Thanks. Is a tabla the same as Solera?

Great

Let me get this straight: "if the bridge is low, you lower it, if the bridge is high you higher it". Personally I suspect this is backwards and I'm leaving this comment for my own future reference. Maybe the plywood neck portion of his solera is warped so it has to be compensated.

Great ideas

Hi Boaz, i read about you in a premium guitar magazine a from June 2011. I heard you carved a guitar using one knife. Do you remember what kind of knife you used to carve the guitar or anything about that? I really want to try it to see if I should take up being a luthier. Seems like such a test. ❤✌🏾

יש כבר איפה לקנות אותה ?

in classical, truss rod is A BIG NO NO

short answer IMO: It's because modern guitar necks are getting thinner with low action even with a good hard wood. Compare it to classical stringed instruments, they have thick necks, some are short which has bigger strength against string bends.

Hello Boaz! I am interested to find out if you have figured out a way to use delrin rod on a fret board with a radius.

Love the passion, Boaz!

throw all classical guitars with a truss rod in them. thank me later
