My methods maximize consistency of sound regardless of the soundboard design, resulting in a signature sound across all models. Many years ago, I recognized that a guitar's sound is determined by its structure. Variables such as wood species, soundboard thickness and bracing, to name a few, can be manipulated to control a guitar's sound.

Because the way a guitar resonates at different pitches is largely determined by the spatial distribution of stiffness and weight in the soundboard, it is possible to correlate measured and tactile parameters during construction to the voice of completed guitars. I use physical measurements such as weight, stiffness, and resonant frequencies as targets to guide my wood selection, decision making and execution throughout the course of building each guitar. I explain this approach in depth in my YouTube series Lutherie Demystified​.

In addition to achieving tonal consistency, the ability to control sound through the measurement and manipulation of physical properties also means that if desired, I am able to subtly alter the sound to suit the preference of the player. Examples include changing the bass to treble balance and relative darkness/brightness.
