Dr Karl’s How Things Work on ABC and ABC iview S2E4 – Dr Karl slides behind the doors of a guitar factory to see how Australia’s favourite instrument is made.
There’s not much to fret about with a gifted team of luthiers, leading hands and Lloyd the Demo Guy guiding Dr Karl from tonewood selection to the final tune-up.
The first step is choosing the perfect timber – the all-important ‘tonewood’. Colour, hardness and moisture each shape the final sound.
Precision machines and master craftspeople work in harmony to cut, shape, bend, sand, brace, glue, paint and coax a guitar into existence. Dr Karl gets hands on along the way, with results that strike more than a few bright notes.
