I found these very shortly after first seeing Brandon ackers video and becoming increasingly interested in how guitars are made. So glad you’re making this series. Making me consider becoming a luthier
Love these videos. Always incredible to see craftsmanship executed with such dedication and meanwhile loving making a guitar like this all along the way.
Im not sure if this is too open ended of a question or not but in general how does the thickness of the front change the sound? Like does thicker make for a deeper sound?
Hey Marshall. Thanks for these videos. I truly like them. I have a few questions, if you don't mind: Why are the botom and top caps built joining two pieces of wood? What would happen if they were just one single piece of wood each?
You would pay more for them because they would be much rarer, requiring bigger, older trees, and more luck finding larger areas with no flaws. Some early guitar makers pieced tops together from four or more pieces of wood. I'm sure there are guitars made from one piece backs or tops.
It always stresses me out when I see luthiers bending the soundboard like that! If the guitar body is smaller than standard does that let you make the top slightly thinner?
This is a great series Marshal! Thanks for taking the time 👍

Can’t stop watching your videos.

This so well editted and fun to watch and learn. Im wasnt even interested in guitar build until now
I absolutely LOVE these videos! They're so fun, inspiring and just generally interesting. Thank you and please post more
Thanks! They will go for at least this build!
Shocking twist at the end 😉
Was the priest you are referring to Juan Martinez Sirvent? The priest who helped Torres towards the end of his life and career?
Love these. Thank you!
Nice work, Marshall! 👌
awesome video!
Loving this series.
Read the article on you and your Dad in the latest issue of GAL News - enjoyed the article and then ran across this vid. Sub'd.

I’m honestly sad that we never got the glueing of the top like you said we would in #2. 😞
Hope you merge all these videos later into one. It would be too cool.
Keep up the good work.

Usually, but it depends on the sound profile that is desired for the instrument!
Great video but be nice to your pencil!
That pencil was out, and there was a willing replacement standing nearby.
