- How NOT to glue the back on your guitar will save one an immense amount of time. Even though one is careful changing methods that work for something that may not work is not a good idea.
An acoustic guitar has specific steps that need to be followed if one wants a proper sounding guitar in the end. Fortunately I was able to make the necessary adjustments to this guitar back and it worked out well.
I hope you enjoy this one!

The grain on the back is looking beautiful. It looked good when it was a flat slab but once glued up and routed down to final shape it takes it to a new level.
I agree. I don't know if I should french polish or lacquer it. lol
I have been looking for a way to clamp my cradles I make for my art panels... THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO DO THINGS!
Clamping things to a flat work surface has been a real issue, so far I have been using dead weights to hold the cradle down on the panel back... but now I see a better (and much cheaper) way to get steadfast clamping pressure all at once everywhere I need it!
I was thinking earlier we're overdue a Monty video! About to watch now, cheers.
Hope you enjoy!
Glad to see a new video. Fascinating about the size, placement and adjustment of the sound hole. Keep on keepin on sir!
More to come!
Monte, thanks for the very useful details. Your mistake could keep the rest of us from a similar mistake. This was a good video.
That is my goal and also to point out YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!
thank you Monty . those are called outside spring calipers. i used em as a machinist they come in various sizes inside and out side
Thanks for the info. I didn't know the name. I've had them here for years. lol
I like your explanation of the soundhole
Thank you.
At last! I was beginning to worry. Congratulations on making a boat! 😉
I really enjoy how you work through and solve problems. Great video!
I'm glad you enjoyed that.
Great video, loved it!!
Thanks so much!
Very interesting episode 🙂, learned new things today.
Glad you enjoyed it!
When you use the router to trim the back, how do you avoid chipping or blowing out the corners by the neck cutaway and also the neck pocket? I’ve got limited experience using a router, and even less about building guitars but with such a thin piece i can see those corners splintering quite easily
I come gently in and take very SMALL bites. Don't rush it I'm going to do something like that this morning in my next video. Just take SMALL bites. Practice on something first.
Monty McKinnon Thank you! I look forward to seeing how it’s done
The router is a directional cutting tool, so when entering the work, you want to orient the bit so that the "In cut is facing the outermost edge of the cut, then pull backward along the length of the cut, stopping just short of the end point. Then take a chisel to the last 1/8th inch of the cut, for the smoothest, best results. The chipout always happens on the trailing edge of the spinning bit.
What would happen if you made the sound hole oval instead or round? That way you could keep it from being too close to the edge as well as being farther from the base area.
As long as the sq footage is the same it should be fine.
@@MontyMcKinnon Excellent, so what if we got really crazy and did a star shaped cutout? :)
Is there a substitute for hyde glue on the purfling?
I tape everything in place an then use Starbond CA glue and accelerator. Works great.
It looks like the first back brace is laminated. Correct? Why?
What looks like laminating at the 1:10 mark are pencil lines to guide him when carving it into final shape. You can see the carved brace #1 at the 3:00 mark.
No it one solid piece.
