- The soundboard is the ultimate sound maker of the guitar. Thicknessing it to the right dimensions for the specific piece of wood is the most challenging tasks of the luthier.
Here I show you my way of handling the top. It's the most important thing when building a guitar.

Pleasure to watch this chap work ... Congrats to those who will own his guitars, take good care of them ... 👍
thank you Matthew!
Gracias por compartir. Thx for share!
Thank you for showing this , extremely rewarding time watching it .
Beautifully done.
Thank you. Glad you like it!
Beau travail. Merci !
Great video. Would like to note thought that you said final thickness would be 25 mm at the bridge. I assume you meant 2.5mm
That doesn't look like an inch thick top, does it?
Obrigado por compartilhar seu conhecimento. O Sr é uma pessoa abençoada por ter esse dom.
teşekkürler
Hello there! Thank you for this great videos. Iam starting harp builder and I found it really useful.
One thing I cant find, and it would be so good if you talk about it:how to "read" lumber for making soundboard. What grain makes really good or great soundboard. If it is really as easy as the most straight and most delicate year rings or of there is something more? If the grain is little bit wavy does it have to be really bad or doesnt? I have a lot of question in that. Thank you!
Are you sure about the 25mm and 20mm ? 😄
how important can a point can be !
What kind of sound are you looking for when you “flop” the top. And what pitch or note are you looking for in general?
not a specific sound; it's more to see how loose the top feels.
Can you use a block sanding for this process? A questin for those who don't have a hand plane.
Can any other luthier guess which brand of low angle block plane is being used here. ?
I need a good one for this same purpose. ♥️
Great video. What tone do you want to hear at this stage? A, B etc??? or just concentrate on the thickness of the top? Thanks
At this stage I listen to the way the top vibrates. I want it to vibrate as much as possible. While thichnessing the top the tones will lower.
Thickness is probably not 25mm in Bridge area but 2.5mm... right?
that's right!
What can be said about the difference in top thickness (and back) between flamenco guitar and classical guitar
nothing! there is not really a difference. You judge the sound of the wood you use by experience.
I just saw your remark. Sorry I did not respons earlier. There is in my opinion no difference. The piece of wood dictates what to do and each top or back is differend.
Do you have any recommendations for type of hand plane to you? Angle of blade? Thanks!
I always use my Stanley blockplane and it works fine for me! Good luck!
Hello, when you tap the soundboard near the tuner what are you looking for? Thanks
I'm looking for the tone of the top.
Forgot to tell us the thickness and pitch .
