Hi there. Great video. Love this instrument, i play the Bajo Quinto. I have three bajos. Is there a number I can reach you. I have some questions and would love to buy one off of you.
Hello friend, nice to know your work, Juan JR builder of low fifths greets you, greetings from Paracho, Michoacán, Mexico. My question is where can I get a wood bender like the one you use? I hope not to bother with my question, best regards from Mexico.
Appreciate you doing this series on the Bajo quinto as I was contemplating building one. Have not seen the whole 8 episodes in their entirety so you may have answered this question: I was under the impression that bajos were built in the classical or nylon string method with sides going into slots in neck block and using a solara. Is there an advantage to doing this as if it " Martin style" if you will? Thank you again for your clear and detailed videos.
One could say that the “Spanish heel” method would help prevent the tipping of the neck block over time under tension. What causes high action over time is the bridge rolling forward causing the top to belly and the neck block tipping. The way I build mine takes those things into consideration but also makes it easier to reset the neck long into the future. All guitars will need the neck reset at some point. Spanish heels are much harder to do this on. You are correct. Traditional Bajos are built that way. I just decided to build them in a no traditional way. I get more sustain and way more volume. Plus, when the guitar needs a reset to bring the action under control I can do it in a day instead of a week.
@@goodsonguitars Thank you very much for your reply, I see your point. I think people should always detune the instrument after playing it, especially for multiple stringed ones. I believe average 6 string at 440 pitch puts 200 psi of pressure!
I will get into this in depth when I reach that point of this build. 1/16 between the double sets. 3/32nd between the courses. Never tried to explain that before. Obviously!!
Research your materials, not all woods work and glue well. Design everything before you build. I know things change but you have to know the end result. Keep the first one simple. My first acoustic was a kit. Take your time and don’t rush anything. Trust me on that one. Start getting your tools together now. Watch videos and read web sites. As many as you can. I’ll post more later.
amadorbajoquinto11 yes sir, the main instrument in this series will be the one I was working on for most of this video. I will take it all the way to final sanding and buff out. Then play it. It’s going to be awesome!!!
AWESOME BROTHER GLAD YOU LEANED IN AND START MAKING BAJOS. BLESSINGS OFFICER GOODSON!🙏👍

For the bajo quinto How far apart should each set of stings be?
Rosalio Diera 1/16 to 3/32nd is what I shoot for.
Depending on the width of the nut.

Where did you buy the electric blanket?
Keep it up man. I want to start my own build one of these days. What’s some good advice for the start of a build?
