It's ironic because I'm holding my La Patrie Concert (this was Godin's more traditional classical line) right now that's 6 years old and I play it like crazy. I could put it in the wall as a brand new instrument and no one would suspect it wasn't
I agree, with proper care a guitar can outlive you. I have a Brune’ Fleta from the early 90’s that is pristine. It’s not the only ‘ancient’ guitar I own either. Proper care is paramount.
I only watch your stuff randomly as I haven't played seriously in years.... This video though... just absolutely complements your personality. Who YOU ARE is why I have subscribed and would love to meet you at some point in my lifetime. Your wealth of knowledge is very valuable, my friend.
Marshall Brune, your videos have me inspired to take on the project or producing my own acoustic guitar over the next (hopefully) 6-10 months. So thank you very much. Q.do you prefer gloss, flat, or satin finishes, or is there an area on the guitar where you would prefer one over the other?
@@MarshallBrune Recently I've come across your channel as I want to make a guitar as well and i've searched the internet and came across your video's.I'm wondering how good a pine and oak guitar would sound because those are the only materials i really have at hand. Also i'm wondering where the videos' are at? Why did you stop posting ? I love seeing them and would also love to see a video on some of the jigs you use and how there made such as the radius cutting jig for the bracing.
Q: Have you tried to analyze good and low quality guitar sound (like the amount of certain overtones) by using some frequency analyzer tool and if yes, did you find out something interesting? As a software developer and wanna-be luthier I'd be very interested to hear whether sound quality could be measured programmatically and maybe even conclude some tips like "try add more that overtone to sound more like Antonio Torres guitar". I know it's impossible capture and imitate pro luthier's experience but even a rough tool like that could maybe help us amateurs to build better guitars.
I hope this question makes it to the next Q&A session. What do you think of 19th century guitars? Do you consider any of its features work better than the modern guitar?
Marshall, How often do you get requests for non standard width necks/ nuts/saddles on classical guitars? If I am correct the standard is around 52mm? For someone who likes a little more space between the strings would a guitar with say a 53 or 54 mm nut/neck be a good choice?
I just have a question if a customer brought wood for the top of a guitar would you use it? If so have you ever used the wood it is named after the drums they make out it. Garamut is the name we locally but the actual name is Vitex Cofassus it’s a hard wood but it’s used for there drums and has quite a lot of resonance so if I ever brought some to the states would there be any requirements before I did that.
Are there any adjustments you've made in your build methods/techniques that facilitate easier repairs down the track? I know some mass produced instruments can cause absolute nightmares with certain operations.
I am a classical guitarist and absolutely love your videos and the process of making guitar, working with wood, but it feels to be impossible to get into being a luthier without having family history in it, or without any background in woodworking
Q: Classical factory guitars: Will a solid top/laminated sides & back u$200~u$400 guitar be really that much better (sounding wise) than a decent and "well" constructed u$200 all laminated one? Where I live only pro-musician and rich people can afford all solid wood luthier class guitars (+ u$1700). And even though I been playing and hearing all kinds of guitars for years, I hardly hear any difference in those price ranges, either be solid top, or not. Thank you.
Marshall you need to have an Episode where you play ur best electric Acoustic Through a Huge Marshall Stack and as hey guys look, Me Marshall is play a M.B. Through a Marshall!!! It’s just good fun!!!
A lot of pros have a dot on the 7th and 15th. That’s all you need in my opinion. Having the 3rd, 5th, 7th etc is a little much and some do frown upon it. But you do you.
Robert Godin seems more interested in selling higher numbers of guitars with a comment like that. 5 years barely gets the guitar to where it starts to gain character in both the wood and the sound.

Keep these coming!!

Q: How long do you see the longevity of cedar tops?
I love this format, good humour as well!
Excellent reply. Thanks Marshall. Gonna try one of those jigs. Great video..and channel. Keep up the great work.
Thanks 👍
great stuff, thanks
Q: what's your approach to voicing the guitar? How do you deal with wolf notes?
Q: what's your favorite combo of woods for a modern classical guitar as a builder
I only watch your stuff randomly as I haven't played seriously in years....

great video
Awesome
Is that Brandon Acker's Itzkin in the video?
Marshall Brune, your videos have me inspired to take on the project or producing my own acoustic guitar over the next (hopefully) 6-10 months.
So thank you very much.
Q.do you prefer gloss, flat, or satin finishes, or is there an area on the guitar where you would prefer one over the other?
Hey Marshall, I use wooden fretboard pins . You can see one on the back of the neck on my second build . I'm very glad I used wood .....Peace ✌.
Do you have different bracing patterns for your cedar and spruce top guitars?
great video marshall love your stuff. i first saw you on robs guitar video and loved it. ever since ive been enjoying your videos
thanks!

So you sell plans for your guitars?
Marshall,

Would you describe your flamenco guitars as being more Madrid- or Granada-school?
Is catalpa any good for the back and sides?

how do the fanned frets change the sound??!

P S been watching since the Rob Scallon video . ......yes that long ....
👍👍👍

Do you make flamenco guitars?
Yes I do. Link to my website - www.mebrune.com/customguitar/p/deposit-for-a-new-m-e-brune-guitar
"I like your gumption" 😂😂
Isn’t that Brandon Ackers guitar? Looks like his new guitar
I was going to write the same comment. Looks like it to me.
Is having side fret markers on your classical guitar a sign you're a poser? 😬
A lot of pros have a dot on the 7th and 15th. That’s all you need in my opinion. Having the 3rd, 5th, 7th etc is a little much and some do frown upon it. But you do you.
Shhhhh….
Nobody tell Willie Nelson that a guitar only lasts 5 years. 🤫
Robert Godin seems more interested in selling higher numbers of guitars with a comment like that. 5 years barely gets the guitar to where it starts to gain character in both the wood and the sound.
