These are the materials that Robbie O'Brien uses in his classical guitar building course. Unlike our other Kit Wizard offerings, all of the items in the kit are required as they are all used in the course.

    Backstrips can add a nice decorative element to any instrument. They can help tie a binding scheme together, break up a back with a less than perfect bookmatch or just add beauty to your guitar. We carry bindings, purflings, and woodstrips to complete your desired color/pattern scheme.

    If you would like us to inlay your backstrip, start by ordering your back and side set and you will be offered this customization there.

    The Maple laminations on this backstrip measure approximately .020" thick each.

    Top Sitka Spruce, 3A grade, dreadnought (ref: TSS3ASS)

    Sitka Spruce is very stiff. Because of its strength and toughness, it is well suited for steel-string acoustic guitars. It has even been used successfully for classical guitars. The color of Sitka Spruce ranges from white to pinkish to light brown. Some tops display a lot of color variation.

    Top Engelmann Spruce, 3A grade, dreadnought (ref: TES3ASS)

    Though it has been in common use for less time than Sitka or German Spruce, Engelmann has risen in stature to equal these woods. These days many makers use Engelmann in lieu of German Spruce since good Engelmann has many of the traits desirable in a good German top. In addition, it is more economical with far better overall quality. In appearance, it is like German Spruce, but unlike German Spruce, it seems to be more uniform in consistency and it has a beautiful ivory sheen. The tops are often more homogeneous looking with the early and late growth rings being less distinct than those of Sitka. It's stiffer than Sitka Spruce perpendicular to the grain.

    Classical marquetry rosette (ref: R2)

    Marquetry rosettes are not a full circle - the gap is intended to be placed beneath the fingerboard. This has the added benefit of allowing some leeway in fitting the rosette after you rout the channel.

    If you would like to have a rosette inlaid into a top, start by ordering the top and the rosette inlay customization will be offered to you there. If you order an inlaid rosette the drawing shows how we will inlay it. If you order a loose rosette the drawing is a suggestion of how you may wish to inlay this rosette.

  • Item Details

    West African Ebony fingerboard, 1st grade, classical/steel string (ref: FBAE1STD)

    West African Ebony has been a standard fingerboard wood for factory guitars in Europe and America, and for many builders, it is preferred because it is easier to plane and is more stable than other Ebonies. It is rarely pure-black, but the streaks and mottling that are indicative of West African Ebony are now largely accepted in the marketplace.

    Anything on the edge of an instrument that isn't the outermost edge (binding) is called "purfling".

    Fiber veneer is very flexible and no bending is needed prior to installation. Wood veneer may need to be bent to avoid breakage depending on the shape of the instrument you are building and the number of laminates in the layup. One can sometimes us a simple household iron to bend these to the appropriate shape. These laminates should not be soaked.

    Spanish Cedar neck blank, 1st grade, 35" x 3" x 7/8" (ref: NKSC1353)

    A 35" neck generally allows you to produce your neck and heel from the same stock which prevents issues with color/grain mismatch.

    The traditional choice for classical guitars, Spanish Cedar is also in favor among steel string builders, in fact many modern Martin necks have been made from it.

    First grade necks and heels are straight-grained, quartersawn with a 25° variance off quarter allowed.

    Indian Rosewood bridges are easily the most popular choice for classical guitars. Some think the tone is better than Ebony on steel strings because of its lighter weight. In most cases, it is more stable than Ebony and it is less likely to split.

  • Engelmann Spruce bracewood, 1st grade

    Bracewood is becoming harder to get as wood, in general, becomes scarcer. Mills are attempting to get the highest yields possible from their logs and/or billets meaning that there is less fall down from which to create bracewood. As a result, the quality of bracewood suffers – it won’t be perfectly quartersawn, the grain may not be straight the full length of the piece, there may be small defects and the grain could be wider than one is accustomed to. This is an industry-wide phenomenon and is outside of our control.

    Unless otherwise noted, each bracewood unit is equivalent to 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 20", though the actual dimensions of the pieces you get may vary. You may get 1 or 2 pieces that will be equal to or more than this equivalent.

    Bracewood is becoming harder to get as wood, in general, becomes scarcer. Quartersawn wood is directed at necks, backs, and tops. Mills are attempting to get the highest yields possible from their material meaning that there is less fall down from which to create bracewood. As a result, the quality of bracewood suffers – it won’t be quartersawn and often the grain will run "corner to corner" In addition, the grain may not be straight the full length of the piece, there may be small defects and the grain could be wider than one is accustomed to. This is an industry-wide phenomenon and is outside of our control.

    Unless otherwise noted, each unit is equivalent to 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 20", though the actual dimensions of the pieces may vary. 2 units may come in a double-sized blank.

Robbie likes to include binding tape and glue in his kit.

    Binding tape, .680" wide (ref: FT75)

    Most factories and hand makers use tape to hold the bindings and purflings in place while gluing them to the edge of the body. Regular masking tape is generally too weak and tears under the pressure needed to press the bindings and purflings firmly into the routed channels. Filament tape—plenty strong enough—must be cut to length with scissors or a knife and is expensive. The tape of choice is this binding tape, our FT75, made from stiff paper with a strong rubber-based adhesive. It is strong enough to apply sufficient pressure with a strong adhesive yet can be torn by hand as you work. Each roll should do at least 5 or 6 guitars.

    Build a Classical Guitar, Robbie O’Brien (ref: BM61)

    by Robbie O'Brien

    We were surprised and delighted when luthier Robert O’Brien, who at that time was an instructor at Colorado’s Red Rocks Community College, informed us that he had been having his students order our kits and that he was making an instructional DVD based on them. Building from LMI kits, O’Brien thoughtfully chose to use a slideshow format creating more than 1400 photos and 3 ½ hours of audio for each DVD, rather than a video format. This enables him to document every step of the building process on a single, affordable DVD disc. He creates this classical DVD in the school's well-equipped shop using common power tools, and he gives suggestions on how most of the operations can be completed with hand tools.
