That's a nice demonstration of the importance of a Helmholtz resonator to stringed instrument design, eh? And a nice little guitar piece as well.

Demonstrates not just precision construction but the importance of the back and sides. They make an enclosed space for the sound of the strings and top to develop. I also think that the materials used for the b/s contributes some.

I wish I understood the narrative. I guess if I listened more carefully I might have understood some of it.
I wonder if the idea is that it can be used as a quiet practice instrument without the "resonator" and for performance with it. The structure supporting the top looks pretty massive by the standards of conventional guitar bracing. I don't have enough familiarity with classical guitars to know how to judge the sound, which is also difficult to do on a YouTube video. But it sounded pleasant to my ears. Interesting concept.

Not too informative about his "Modelo “Pampa” desarmable" in the video, but tells a little about him: http://guitarraslouzao.com/index_eng.htm
I thought it sounded pretty good. My experience in listening to lattice-braced classical guitars is that they tend to sound towards "lute-like", as did this one. The use of a rigid structural frame is not new, particularly with lattice bracing. What is a new idea is the removable back and side assembly and the bolt-on neck arrangement. Seems to work well.
