The conventional limit
Voicing stops when the box closes.
Traditional construction decisions shape attack, sustain, bass response and projection during the build. Once the guitar is assembled, that voice is largely committed.
Lattice Tone Systems · Patent pending
An adjustable acoustic voicing system developed from the natural frequency behavior of each individual soundboard—repeatable, player-focused and free from digital processing.
The conventional limit
Traditional construction decisions shape attack, sustain, bass response and projection during the build. Once the guitar is assembled, that voice is largely committed.
The Punkle proposition
LTS makes acoustic adjustment possible after construction. Chladni testing reveals how each soundboard naturally responds; those findings become a repeatable adjustment guide for that guitar.
The soundboard fingerprint
No two pieces of wood are identical. During the build, Chladni testing makes a soundboard’s natural frequency patterns visible. Punkle records those observations and develops a small group of useful, repeatable voice settings for that individual top.
The finished guitar receives its own LTS Adjustment Receipt: a concise record showing how to return to its mapped Warm/Bloom, Attack/Sustain and Balanced voices. The exact implementation remains proprietary while the patent process continues.
Player-adjustable voicing
Explore the three target profiles established for the Founder build. These are tonal intentions—not digital presets.
Illustrative response profile
A grounded low register, rounded body and a slow-opening bloom for players who want the whole room to feel the chord.
Illustrations express design targets. Final voice depends on the individual instrument, materials, strings and player.
Why it matters
LTS moves acoustic voicing from a one-time builder decision toward an ongoing, documented relationship between instrument and player.
Explore mapped acoustic voices after the guitar is assembled, guided by its individual receipt.
Match an instrument’s response more closely to touch, repertoire and tonal preference.
Document useful settings so a preferred profile can be located again with confidence.
Preserve the physical chain from string to bridge, soundboard, air and room.
