OUESTION NOTES QUALITY

1 / An amateur guitar luthier is working on his classical guitar.

1. His handcrafting skills are just improving, so he may use some help with
cutting the ‘ classical ‘ shape of upper and lower covers. He is thinking of
having it cut in an industrial estate, afterwork at 7 p.m. So he needs to be
quick to catch the last bus home.
2. He knows that different types of wood have different acoustic
characteristics he wants to combine them.
3. On the side parts , he needs to get a curvy shape from a thin layer of wood
to catch the true reflexion of sound.
4. The continuity of the materials is important for instrument crafters to have
a sustained sound, so using fasteners may break the magic.
5. He thinks that a signature logo of him would look cool or his guitar what
would be your suggestions to him?
