Woodworking - The Stacoustic. Full build, making an acoustic guitar

  • Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
  • Hey everyone this concept acoustic guitar is called the Stacoustic AKA "The Stac". Drawing inspiration from velocity stacks on race cars and the Tornavoz found on some classical guitars, protruding from the upper bout we have three resonant ports of different diameters and lengths all tuned to well under what the low E string is resonating at. The intention is not creating more bass, but to influence harmonic overtones and see what kind of character we can get out of this guitar. The end result is,,, it sounds like a guitar.
    Forgive my playing towards the end of the video, I am not much of a guitarist.
    Some specs:
    Graph Tech RATIO tuning machines
    Graph Tech saddle and nut
    Graph Tech bridge pins
    Jescar EVO Gold fretwire
    25.5 to 26.5 multi-scale maple fretboard
    Double action truss rod
    Maple bridge
    Black spruce top
    Birch back and sides
    Birds eye maple neck
    Spruce bracing, birch bridge patch
    Head to Nick White music room to check out how it sounds! • Playing the Stacoustic...

    Playing a guitar that you created is probably one of the most satisfying things in the world.
    I cannot tell how this unique design contributes to the sound of this guitar, but it's beautiful for sure.

    Nice work, lot's of neat ideas that I will be stealing! Especially the "flying" brace and the tuned ports. The lute style top brings a tight midrange and treble similar to the "00"s and must simplify the build process. Your solution for the "upper bout" is genius !

    • @slicwood231
      @slicwood231  3 года назад +6

      Yeahh the flying brace was a wild card, and ended up complementing that dry mid range focus of the lute shape like you mentioned. I deff recommend the tuned ports, they were fun and add some wild characteristics. Thanks!

    • @slicwood231

    This luthier is amazingly talented. The video has convinced me never to try making a guitar. The amount of tools ($$$) and specialty skills needed make me realize that I can better use my time playing a guitar rather than creating one.

      Yes, I know a skilled craftsman that attempted a solid body strat out of burl wood. He ended up needing help; it weighed a ton and wasn't all that enjoyable to play. But I guess kudos for effort.

    Very nice! I think you succeeded in proof of concept. The bass is strong, but not boomy, just crisp and tight. And the treble is clear and round. That sure is some pretty wood, too. Nice axe all around.
    When I was watching the beginning I thought you were building a cittern. And really, if you make one of those strung with 4 or 5 courses and leave off the fake upper bouts, you'll have a super-cittern. My mind tends to go that way cuz cittern has been my main axe for some decades, even though I started music on Classical guitar in '69.

    One of these days I'm going to build a archtop parlor guitar shaped like an A style mandolin. I really believe there is something acoustically special about that shape of resonance chamber. I really like your concept of skeletonized wings to give it the ergonomics of a traditional acoustic while maintaining the unique tone of the teardrop body and soundboard.
