<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">One of my friends on the nation recently brought this to my attention.<span style=""> </span> We all had a good laugh over it at the time but this has been bugging me more and more the longer I’ve thought about it.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">As I have always told you: make your authorities prove their credentials to you.<span style=""> </span> Don’t just accept what someone tells you as hard evidence.<span style=""> </span> Make someone earn your respect before you give them the keys to your knowledge and understanding.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">As I have also said before: don’t even listen to the stuff that I tell you.<span style=""> </span> I can honestly tell you that I know what I’m talking about because I can make one kick ass guitar.<span style=""> </span> I certainly don’t expect you to take my word for it though, nor do I want you to.<span style=""> </span> I want you to experiment and discover why certain things work the way they do and why others don’t work quite as well.<span style=""> </span> This process of discovery is what will ultimately lead you to your
greatest bursts of creativity and innovation – something that will be<br />
stifled if you just follow what I tell you to do.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I have posted this series on guitar making here because of a desire to help the rest
of you build the best guitar you can and not because I want to boost my<br />
sales.<span style=""> </span> I don’t “need” any of your money or your endorsements.<span style=""> </span> I do “want” you all to grow as craftsman.<span style=""> </span> Above all, I want you all not to be polluted with untrue things.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Back to the story, here.<span style=""> </span> As mentioned, one of my friends alerted me (and some of the rest of us) to one of these eBay auctions.<span style=""> </span> I have nothing against eBay in general; it is how I got my start as well.<span style=""> </span> I do have a problem with people who spend an inordinate amount of time slinging bullshit in order to make a buck.<span style=""> </span> Anything that gives the rest of us a bad name really pisses me off.<span style=""> </span> And, oh boy, is this offensive!</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I’m going to reproduce the offending material from the auction here, along with my
annotated responses that illustrate exactly what is wrong with this<br />
guy’s statements.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Here we go…</span></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">"Here is more helpful info:</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;">A flat plank neck without a trussrod bends easily, a straight round dowel of hardwood is much stonger."</span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">This all depends on how the neck has been carved and constructed.<span style=""> </span> If you take a piece of softer wood that is about 1/2” thick all the way
down it’s length then, yes, you’re probably looking at some bowing over<br />
time.<span style=""> </span> On the other hand, if you have laminated<br />
two pieces of wood together (as you would typically do when applying a<br />
fingerboard), you have made the neck incredibly strong by changing grain<br />
direction.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In any case, the amount of travel that a neck suffers is less of a function of just the
string pressure and more a function of string pressure combined with<br />
changes in temperature and humidity.<span style=""> </span> Moisture and<br />
heat changes in wood cause expansion and contraction of the neck wood’s<br />
fibers, resulting in things “loosening up”.<span style=""> </span> Once this happens, it’s only natural for the neck to bend in the direction of the strings’ pull.<span style=""> </span> The only way to correct this is to adjust the truss rod after it has happened.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The truss rod will never prevent the neck from bending in some direction due to temperature and moisture content changes.<span style=""> </span> It is only there to let you correct the position of the neck over time in order to keep your set up and action at an optimum.<span style=""> </span> Whether your neck is a flat plank or a round dowel has nothing to do with this.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Structurally, a round dowel is no different from a flat plank.<span style=""> </span> Wood gets its strength based on the orientation of its grain in relation to the direction of outside forces acting on it.<span style=""> </span> In essence, raw wood when it has been cut is strong along one direction and not the other (in a very broad sense, anyway).<span style=""> </span> You make wood stronger from multiple directions by changing grain directions (i.e. lamination).<span style=""> </span> The ultimate example of this is plywood, which is extremely strong.<span style=""> </span> Round dowels are cut from stock the same way that flat planks are and
will have the same strength characteristics whether their sides are<br />
round or flat.<span style=""> </span> Again, in a single raw piece of wood the strength is determined by the grain not the shape.</span></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">most inexpensive CBGs are made of poplar beware of this material in necks. Despite what makers
say the type of wood used for a straight through neck does affect<br />
sound. although oak doesnt bend easy it has a terrible sound and isnt<br />
used in any high end musical instruments. poplar will sound a bit better<br />
but not the best sound and will bend over time even with weather<br />
conditions.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Poplar is a standard tone wood used for solid bodies (typically covered with a
decorative top or painted over because it’s not the best in the looks<br />
department).<span style=""> </span> It is used much the same way as basswood.<span style=""> </span> It is light and reasonably strong.<span style=""> </span> It has an unnaturally bright sound compared to other comparable woods.<span style=""> </span><br />
While it is typically not used in neck making, there is nothing wrong<br />
with using it for a three or four string neck provided it is carved<br />
correctly and laminated with a separate piece of wood for strength.<span style=""> </span> It should be treated gently as it will take nicks and dings easily.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">As far as oak is concerned, Brian May carved the neck of the Red Special from a piece of oak.<span style=""> </span> As far as I can tell, his guitar doesn’t sound terrible.</span></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">Oak necks are top heavy, unbalanced and makes playing difficult.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Any guitar is made top heavy based on design and construction.<span style=""> </span> Wood types will have something to do with it but this can be counter
acted in the design phase and other considerations such as scale length,<br />
hardware, body construction, etc will play a role in this.<span style=""> </span> Saying in general terms that oak necks are top heavy is ludicrous.<span style=""> </span> As far as difficult playing is concerned, a dowel neck would feel absolutely miserable.</span></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">Some CBGs come without frets, or have painted or burned lines as markers, these are sliders,
the seller will tell you you can chord with them but it is next to<br />
impossible, unless youre playing single notes. You will find these very<br />
uncomfortable if you dont soley play slide. CBGs with toothpick frets<br />
will wear grooves in them quickly way faster than metal frets will.</p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">Beware of shiny acessories. the more metal you have in a guitar body the worse it will
sound. watch out for brass corners and hole grommets on the soundboard. a<br />
brass nut is okay but a bolt bridge will sound terrible.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The bridge serves as the lower boundary of the instrument’s scale and also transfers
vibration energy from the strings to the soundboard.<span style=""> </span><br />
There is a slight mass/inertia difference between bone or Corian and a<br />
metal bolt, however this difference is not enough to sound terrible.<span style=""> </span> Given the nature of the typical acoustic cigar box guitar, I doubt the human ear could detect a difference.<span style=""> </span><br />
The most important thing in this case is that the bridge is solidly<br />
planted on the box surface such that the energy can be transferred with<br />
minimal loss.</span></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">A wood or bone floating bridge gives the best sound. Big holes in the soundboard and brass
corners mean less vibration area in the soundboard, the music comes off<br />
the wood on the face not the sound hole.</p>
<br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The music actually comes from the playing of the guitar.<span style=""> </span> The sound is generated by the vibration of the soundboard and its reaction to pressure change differentials inside of the body.<span style=""> </span> A sound hole is there to aid in projection and promote good bass response.<span style=""> </span> The sound hole is typically placed on the face of the instrument in
order to project these nuances towards the listening audience.</span></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">Through the body plank style CBGs sometimes have no airspace between the neck and the
soundboard. the neck sits flush with the soundboard deadening the sound,<br />
combined with large holes and metal grommets it gives you even less<br />
resonance area on the soundboard.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">It is true that this is one way to build a through neck, however I have seen plenty with
a fully floating top (no contact with the neck).<span style=""> </span><br />
Even for those guitars where the box lid comes in contact with the<br />
neck, they sounded 100 times better than the example that the poster<br />
provides in his auction, shown here:</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLlT5HGqKuY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLlT5HGqKuY</a></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">Some makers will tell you the guitar can only be heard in the middle of the night, playing
alone in the dark, because of the small size of the box. This isnt true,<br />
again its because of the big holes shiny acessories metal bridge and<br />
plank deadening the soundboard. You can hear a solid body electric in<br />
the middle of the night not plugged in, dont fall for this.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">First, I’ve never had a maker tell me this.<span style=""> </span> When he says “some makers” I wonder exactly who it was he was talking to?<span style=""> </span> Or were these “some makers” just fictional characters that were constructed as part of a HSN sales pitch?</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Second, the statement is again made that the guitar is quiet because of big holes,
shiny acessories (sic), a metal bridge, and a plank.<span style=""> </span> According to this guy, every time a guitar is quiet it is because of these issues (which have already been debunked earlier).<span style=""> </span> He just knows without looking at the guitar.<span style=""> </span> He is that good.</span><span style=""> </span></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">Many CBGs that are acoustic electric have electric guitar pickups, this is a lie electric
guitar pickups only pick up string vibration so again big hole for the<br />
pickup, big hole for the jackplate, and big grommet holes for decoration<br />
will not sound good acoustically. It is basically and electric stick<br />
with a non functional cigar box body.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Note in the following picture the acoustic guitar with the giant DiMarzio magnetic pickup in the middle of it.<span style=""> </span> Note also the “big hole” in which it is mounted.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.swapzone.co.uk/images/g_s/neck.jpg"><span style="font-family: Arial;">http://www.swapzone.co.uk/images/g_s/neck.jpg</span></a></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">a through the body neck where the strings go through an extention spike at the bottom require
more pressure on the bridge to sound. this pressure eventually caves the<br />
soundboard in and warps the neck.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">An extension spike?<span style=""> </span> What the hell is he talking about?<span style=""> </span> Does he mean bridge pins?<span style=""> </span> Really?<span style=""> </span> He’s God’s gift to guitar making technology and he doesn’t know what a bridge pin is called.<span style=""> </span> As far as pressure caving a sound board, if the neck is attached to the
sound board as he claimed is always the case earlier then why would the<br />
soundboard cave?<span style=""> </span> In the case of the guitar not having a through neck, there is this miraculous invention guitar makers use called “bracing”.<span style=""> </span> It’s understandable, I guess, if he hasn’t heard of it yet.<span style=""> </span> It’s only hundreds of years old by now.</span></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">A 3/8" soundhole is all you need to get proper bass responce coming back to the player. The
music the audience hears comes off the soundboard it doesnt come from<br />
inside the guitar. What you hear when you play and what the audience<br />
hears are two different things.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I have already detailed how a front facing sound hole serves to project bass response to the listening audience.<span style=""> </span> I have also detailed how the sound a guitar generates is a function of
the soundboard vibration in addition to pressure changes inside the body<br />
based on that vibration.<span style=""> </span> While the sound hole doesn’t have to be huge, 3/8” is a little on the small side.<span style=""> </span> A hole in the diameter of a quarter would do it though.</span></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">Some cigar boxes are only wood on the back, builders use the pressboard side as a soundboard
and leave the back plain wood to make you think the whole box is wood,<br />
when they should use the back as the soundboard. the soundboard of a<br />
real guitar must be wood the rest of the body can be paper mache' etc.<br />
Again the sound comes off the face of the guitar not from inside.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Amazingly, there is a small grain of truth in this statement.<span style=""> </span> Not amazingly, given the small size of the typical CBG body and other
factors concerned, the difference in sound should not be enough for the<br />
human ear to detect.<span style=""> </span> Also not amazingly, the demo video posted still sounds horrendous no matter what side of the box he used for a soundboard.</span></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">The back of the box is tight like a drum if the pressboard top is used, and not reinforced, and
glued down tight, it will not sound right.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Apparently no CBG maker has ever devised a way to reinforce and brace the instrument body on his own.<span style=""> </span> This man is incredible.<span style=""> </span> He has gone into the homes and shops of literally thousands of other
people all over the world and determined the building techniques of all<br />
of us.<span style=""> </span> He’s a phantom!!!</span></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">All wood cigar boxes with hinges and hasps that open up and aren't glued shut will not sound
good. also the thick renforcement around the sides will deaden the<br />
soundboard and not allow it to ring properly. You want thin sidewalls<br />
like a real acoustic guitar.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Well, which is it?<span style=""> </span> You first spent the whole article telling us that all the music comes
from the soundboard but now thick sides are going to deaden the sound?<span style=""> </span> How exactly will they do that?<span style=""> </span> And when has anybody ever found a cigar box that had thicker sides than a guitar?</span></p>
<br/>
<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">A piezo transducer or a microphone, is the only way to pickup true acoustic sound. For tin or
resophonic CBGs a microphone must be used to get the metallic tone, a<br />
guitar pickup or piezo transducer will not work.</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Strangely, innovators in this very field have dumped hundreds of thousands of
dollars into the design and manufacture of piezo pickups for resophonic<br />
guitars.<span style=""> </span> If they had just asked this guy, they would have saved a ton of money.</span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal">Reso Piezo:</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.schattendesign.com/resonator.htm">http://www.schattendesign.com/resonator.htm</a></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br/>I have made resphonic guitars with piezo pickups built into the biscuit bridge and I can promise that
they sounded plenty metallic plugged in to my amp.</span><br/>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Some builders will actually tell you<br />
that a bad sounding instrument adds to the charm and the nostalgia of a<br />
cigar box guitar and will charge more than an actual guitar would cost. <br />
Over and over you will hear words like "crude" and "primative" the fact<br />
is made the right way they were made in the 20s and 30s they are very<br />
good sounding advanced acoustic instruments.<br/>
</span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Again, I would like to direct your attention to the demo video that was offered along with the auction:</span><br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLlT5HGqKuY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLlT5HGqKuY</a></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br/>Yes, this is not bad sounding, crude, or primitive at all.<span style="">
</span> This is the Strada-fucking-varius of cigar box guitars.</span><br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Also, anyone notice how out of sync the sound is with the playing?<span style=""> </span> Watch the video very closely.<span style=""> </span> In<br/> what universe do you get that sound based on what his hands are doing?</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">To be perfectly clear, I’m not attacking this guy’s ability to build a guitar so much as
I am the claims that he makes in an attempt to promote his instruments.<br />
<span style=""> </span>There is actually some video of my buddy K. M. Williams playing one of his guitars and it sounds pretty freaking cool. <span style=""> </span>Then again, that might just be the fact that anything the Rev. does sounds awesome. <span style=""> </span>But still…</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> <br/>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">My problems are numerous, but to boil down the ones I have with this fella, it’s really
the fact that he’s trying to distinguish his product by denigrating the<br />
work of others and (even worse) he’s completely wrong in nearly every<br />
statement he makes. <span style=""> </span>If it was that important to him, you’d think he’d just put the time and effort in necessary to build a superior instrument.</span></p>
