Fast, efficient clamping
Go-bar Clamping System
Gluing guitar soundboards, backs and braces can require a multitude of standard clamps, but many luthiers have discovered a faster and equally efficient way to get the job done: Go-bar clamping. We offer the special components and instructions you need to easily build your own Go-bar clamping system, including custom-radiused convex dishes for perfect arching of a dreadnought soundboard and back.

Go-bar deck assembly
From a sheet of 3/4" plywood, cut six pieces, each 2 feet x 2 feet. Stack and glue two of the pieces together, and stack and glue the other four together (the extra thickness is required to give the go-bar deck base sufficient stiffness).
Drill a 1/2"-diameter hole in each corner, 1" from each edge. Assemble the parts from the hardware kit as shown in the “exploded” diagram below.
Use wooden blocks to raise our #4731 concave wooden soundboard dish, or our #4732 concave back dish, to the desired height above the base of the deck. Our flexible #4734 24" fiberglass go-bars should be used for clamping, as shown above.
