In Part 2 of the extensive Custom Guitar Video feature Ervin demonstrates how back and top of an acoustic guitar are related.
When we met Ervin Somogyi in Oakland, CA we had no idea that we were about to film a piece of true guitar making history. Ervin took us on a “tour-de-force” in fine Custom Acoustic Guitar making. It turned out to be one of the rare cases where we refuse to cut and edit the video. Mr. Somogyi’s wonderful recital about his knowledge, his mastery and his philosophy is a true piece of “last of their kind” footage. We want to preserve it for aspiring guitar makers and guitar lovers alike.

Ervin Somogyi is one of the icons of American Luthierie. His work as a professional luthier and woodworker of forty years’ standing, is internationally known and respected among collectors, professional guitar players and guitar makers. His Custom Acoustic Guitars are increasingly recognized as the best recording instruments available. They are sought by professional acoustic guitarists who wish to make and preserve the highest quality of recorded and performed sound. The master luthier has received numerous honors over the years. Ervin Somogyi won the prestigious award “Best Luthier” for 4 years in Frets Magazine; one of his Custom Acoustic Guitars was judged as “best sounding” in listening tests conducted at the Boston University at a national convention of the Guild of American Luthiers’; Ervin has had an instrument displayed at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. His artwork is inspired directly by his four decades of lutherie work.
