In order to build a traditional Spanish classical guitar you’ll need a good solera. This solera can be used to create both the guitar in the book and the guitar in the dvd.
The J.S. Bogdanovich Guitars solera kit comes partially constructed. Kit includes rims, wood for upper and lower bout patches, hardware and the solera base covered on both faces with high quality cabinet grade 1/4″ birch solid core plywood. Detailed construction of the solera is covered in the book “Classical Guitar Making” A Modern Approach to a Traditional Design” and in the DVD series “Making a Concert Classical Guitar with John S. Bogdanovich”.
The 3/4″MDF substrate has been covered on both top and bottom surfaces with a 1/4″ birch solid core plywood for stability. Wood patches for shaping the lower and upper bouts are provided for carving. The rims have been pre-assembled and the bolt holes on the rims have been pre-drilled for easy alignment. Complete instructions for making solera kit may be found in the book, DVD or the video subscription service.

The kit came well packaged without any damage. The solera and side rims are significantly lighter than a solera and rims I made a number of years ago from two pieces of laminated 3/4″ mdf. This solera and rims are CNC cut. I appreciate the precision of the rim cuts having perviously done this my hand. The rims come with pre-drilled attachment holes. on All hardware needed for assembly is included. Regular UPS ground shipping arrived in about 4-5 days.I would highly recommend this solera kit.
