Making the Trini Lopes Guitar Top | Vacuum Pressed Laminations

-Check out my website. I would be happy to make an unfinished guitar, bass, or any string instrument for you. The standard method to support what I do here, both as Ideas and projects that you will see on the channel. Do you have an idea that you think would look awesome in one of these videos? Let's make it! If you need a router template set to make your design, I make those too!

Are there any benefits of using laminated wood? Is it because it is easier to bend and make it a dome shape?

[@TwoCherriesIns]

Not really, In production it's less expensive, and much quicker. This way it's a lot more labor, for a top that is not as good as a solid top. But you have to try it to know.

Nice video, where did you buy this vacuum bag?

I am curious what equipment you are using on your vacuum rig.

It's not completely put together yet, check www.veneersupplies.com

The epoxy will be a tone killer. :-)

[@TwoCherriesIns]

Possibly, wood glue cures a bit softer, and a lot of these made in production environments are made with epoxy, might be an interesting experiment.

Thw tone doesn't exist. The tone are in your fingers, not in the gear

@John Johnson (The Simian Sam) thanks, I'll give it a try, sounds like it's just what I need.
