ERVIN SOMOGYI 02 | GUITAR MAKER Top & Back

CustomGuitarVideo.com | esomogyi.com This is a jewel amongst all the other Gourmet Guitars Videos. Ervin Somogyi took us on a journey into the depths of Custom Acoustic Guitar making. We figured that the discerning guitar maker as well as the Guitar Gourmet wants to get the whole story. Ervin is such an enlightening speaker that we decided to present the footage of his presentation completely unaltered. This is Part Two of the extended ERVIN SOMOGYI MASTER SERIES. Enjoy.

@hoppercap you may want to check out an article that mister somogyi wrote which is available on his website (factory VS handmade guitars) its very interesting...

Dont forget that most professional artists are endorsed up their ass my big guitar companies who pay them big cash and those ''artists'' are paid to say that their instruments are great and little fanboys believe them... Behind the scene, most of them record with handmade instruments :)

The back has very little to do with the sound a guitar makes. It's all in the soundboard,box volume, bracing, scale length, bridge, box volume, soundhole size and location, bridge plate...basically stuff associated with the soundboard more. After you build a few guitars, it's really obvious that playing around with the back is totally barking up the wrong tree. It's like fretting and researching what type of paint will give you the best performance numbers when building a  race car.

I'm of the opinion that the tonal qualities of Brazilian rosewood is highly overrated and in practical terms no different than other rosewoods. There's this myth that surrounds Brazilian that probably has its basis in the fact that better guitars handmade decades ago featured that wood...But really what people are hearing is aged wood and better quality of manufacture than any magic properties in the species of wood.
