Hernandez Y Aguado bouwtekening

Dit zijn de gedetailleerde, volledige grootte plannen van gitaren door beroemde makers. Elk plan is nauwkeurig getekend, en is gebaseerd op een zorgvuldig onderzoek van het betrokken instrument. Het bevat alle informatie die nodig is om een reproductie te bouwen. Schaal lengtes zijn alle 650 mm, tenzij anders vermeld.

Elk plan wordt afgedrukt op drie afzonderlijke vellen papier van A2 (600 x 450 mm):
Blad een: Bouw notities, rozet design, brug, hoofd, hals 
Blad twee: Zangbodem en Strutting
Blad drie: Nek, Fingerboard, zijaanzicht.

Manuel Hernandez and Victoriano Aguado were one of the most successful guitar making partnerships of the 20th century. They worked in Madrid, where they developed their own particular guitar designs that proved extremely popular with players. Some musicians like their guitars precisely because they seem to lack a strong personality - this makes it easier for the player to put his or her own character into the music (in contrast, for example, with a Fleta, which sometimes appears to sound "like a Fleta" whoever is playing on it). 

These makers used various strutting designs, and the plans available here include two different designs; the first uses five fan struts and closing bars; the second uses six fan struts, two closing bars, and a long diagonal strut that cuts across the treble side of the soundboard, to increase volume and clarity.
