They look awesome! Just one question though, do you not get more specific standing waves that resonate only on specific tones and thus create an unequal tone response accross the tonal range? I would expect that round guitars are made this way to try and amplify more or less the whole tonal range equally, whilst with such defined and pronunced paralel walls at a very specific distance, I would expect this would amplify a much smaller and more specific range, yet cancel out specific resonances as well due to the standing waves? How do you get around that? All the best, MBY
@boxwoodguitar3618
26 күн бұрын
You'd think standing waves would be an issue but, in my experience (161 box guitars), it hasn't been. A couple things to keep in mind. When we think of standing waves, we're typically thinking of how sound interacts with parallel walls INSIDE a confined space. With a guitar, we are only concerned with what it sounds like OUTSIDE that space. If you've ever used a pickup with an internal mic in a traditional acoustic guitar you know it still doesn't sound as good as a mic placed 8"-12" away from the body. All that to say the insides of guitars always sound funky. More importantly, the main interaction on a traditional guitar (or one of mine) is the interaction between the top and the back. People often refer to it as a sound pump. Traditional guitars taper in thickness from tail to the neck joint. There's also a slight radius to the back and most tops. I do the same thing on my guitars to add strength to those pieces and avoid having the two most important faces being parallel.
@CSProduction12
Ай бұрын
Have you ever considered attempting to make an acoustic Bass guitar? It seems like having corners like that would really allow the low end to resonate if you made the body large enough... Though I might be totally wrong as the length of low end frequencies tend to be massive and require a room to be heard or develop correctly.

What about about standing waves? They may produce some unwanted resonances in a box shape. You can suppress standing waves by adding inner walls, 45 degree rotated at corners, like inner bevelling. And you can leave gaps between top or back and these 45 deg walls to avoid volume decrease. As result instead of few strong resonances you would get several dispersed weaker resonances and this might sound better, less boxy, more rich.
@boxwoodguitar3618
Ай бұрын
That was my concern too. . . before I started making them. One would expect standing waves and harsh reflections to cause wolf notes or even cancelation. 156 guitars later, it hasn't been a problem. One thing to consider. . . when we think about room acoustics, we are only concerned with how the sound behaves inside the room because that is where we are listening. Parallel walls and 90 degree corners are definitely problematic in that context. With guitars, we want it to sound good OUTSIDE of those four walls. Beyond that way of thinking, I don't have a scientific explanation for why it's not an issue. If you've ever used an internal mic on an acoustic guitar, you know that even traditional guitars don't sound great inside the instrument. The full color and tone happens 12" away from the soundboard.

Your concern is very reasonable. A room with parallel walls will have standing waves and resonant frequencies. I think the danger is applying that idea to acoustic guitars. We're not looking to make instruments that sound good inside the "room" (if we continue the analogy). We want them to sound good well outside the "room". In my experience (156 guitars!), standing waves, resonant frequencies and wolf tones aren't an issue. I know it's counterintuitive but I record and perform with these guitars all the time. No issues.

The bent curve of a guitar side acts as a spring which increases resonance because it is resisting and reflexive to the tension of the strings, a flat side does not have that quality, a flat side may have the same tone but it will never have the same volume or structural integrity of a curve sided guitar, so there are reason for the curve beyond not being ugly.

It's certainly true that a curved piece of wood will have more structural integrity that a flat piece of wood of the same dimension. As I mention in the video, I'm able to use a thicker, more rigid side because I'm not worried about bending it.

Yes. I was definitely inspired by the CBG world. . . but I wanted better acoustic tone. So, I borrowed a lot from that aesthetic and built them with traditional guitar construction.

Do you think a guitar with a body made of sheet acrylic would sound any good? I work with / fabricate with the stuff

A cutaway would be nice. Presumably it would be a square in the bottom front corner.

Have you tried a square sound hole too? Pretty cool, man!

I have. I prefer the look of the round sound hole. They also fit better with the X brace that is the main structural support of the top.

That extra sound hole has me chewing my lip and wrinkling my forehead. I am intrigued with the possibilities.

I'd be curious to hear one made with classical guitar features and nylon strings

I never have. Classical guitars are SO different internally that I feel like I'd be starting from scratch in terms of bracing and voicing.

Wow!...Those are cool, unique and beautiful!.....Do they make guitar cases that fit them? Are they harder to hold, since they don't conform to the human body?

Thank you. I don't find them uncomfortable or difficult to hold. . . but I've been playing them for years and I'm obviously biased. For cases, I use Mono and Gator Transit gig bags.
