Deflection testing for consistency. Wilborn Guitars

Here’s how I use this shopmade jig to help insure that all my guitars sound similar.

I like it, that's a nice idea, thanks for sharing

Great Jig.....wish you had more detail on the build. Thanks!

[@DarrenForbes]

This is science.

[@gpnaoh]

Wow! Intense data. Almost rocket science. You build great guitars, Ben! Thanks for sharing

[@xaloneinacasketx]

Any chance you have plans for this jigsaw available? Seems like a nice sturdy design

[@davidthebiker2955]

Thanks for showing this!!

[@josetarragonatyvallejoslut2]

Thank you so much! do you know where can i find some information on classical guitar top deflection ranges in different species? Thanks for the valuable info and greetings from Argentina!

How much weight?

[@ggergg6423]

I believe my weight is around 5-6 lbs, but really just need to find a weight and be consistent with it. If you have a top with known specs that worked well for your style of building, just measure deflection on it and you are then in the ballpark.
