Wonderful video. Perfect pacing, just natural sounds and so very engrossing. When the chisel was laid confidently the fingerboard, it was almost edge-of-the-seat! Lovely tone to a beautifully-made instrument.

You totally should! There's a company called Luthiers Mercantile International (their website is lmii(.com)) and you can order custom kits from them and you choose different guitar types, your own wood from their selection and if you like you can have them pre-prepare parts, like bending the sides, slotting and radiusing the fretboard, gluing and sanding the top and back panels, etc. And they have instructional videos on how to do it too! Give it a shot mate
All the precision of a surgeon … a perfect combination of art and science. It was a privilege to be able to watch the guitar's construction. Wonderful - only wish I could afford one!
Un vrai travail d'artiste ébéniste ! beaucoup de patience et minutie pour réaliser un tel instrument; magnifique cette GUITARE !Merci d'avoir réalisé cette vidéo :-)
As a fan of yours for many years, I can say it is always a truly uplifting experience to watch these videos of yours, David. I shall purchase one soon.
Better than anything you can watch on TV. I could have watched a two hour movie of it. I am now thoroughly discouraged from ever becoming an even pedestrian luthier
Having a high quality hand made non-production guitar is a beautiful thing. I have one made by a master builder and I never grow tired of playing that guitar. It's an investment that you will he glad you made.
I work in the car manufacturing industry, mainly high end cars, Bentley, rolls royce, Ferrari. I never look twice at them during my work but this guitar I could look at all day.
A jewel made of wood. Shaping the neck looked so brutal to start with, I was thinking what a slip would do to the body! The commitment of real craftsmanship. Wonderful ❤️
Absolutely Fantastic. Thankyou for your video and your expertise. Truly an expert craftsman. From an old woodworker and woodturner. Trying to get back into the Classical guitar at age 78 with a Raimundo 128. Regards, Mike
What a beautiful guitar, I’ve never enjoyed watching one made so much - I even found myself leaning forward to blow the dust off the neck I was so involved. 😀
The guitar performance is superb, but, the tonality and clarity of the instrument really shines! No sour overtones, no buzzing, no off vibrations to be heard! I want one!
I am always deeply moved when I see how a master instrument maker with dedication and craftsmanship creates such a perfect instrument. Happy 2nd Advent and respectful greetings from Germany 🕯🕯🎄🙋♂️
Agreed. The attention to detail and pure artistry are wonderful to watch. You can spend $100 on a classical guitar and you get what you get, but this is on a whole different level. The materials and workmanship here are what make guitars like this worth the money, something you can treasure your whole life.
What this video doesn't tell you is: -High-end guitars require high-end materials like rare and valuable wood (top spruce, redwood, rosewood (brazilian rosewood is banned from exploit due to it's so rare), maple, cedar, côcbolo, ebony, Hawaiian Koa...) -How the craftman sands the top bracing, which determines the sound quality. No matter how good the wood is but crappy bracing = crappy sound. So this is the kind of real talent-work. The fact is some Luthiers only make under 3 guitars a year because it takes so much time to make top-end one.
@@graytonw5238 Yes, but still do nt understand the difference between a 3000 dollar handmade guitar and a 18.000 dollar handmade guitar. You can use wood that is 25 years old but is still not and excuse for the 15.000 dollar difference.
Thanks for share this amazing video... I can see so much love in this guitar, every detail is a manifestation of how much you love what you do... God's working by your hands! It's a great job, and a pleasure to watch.
Brava Kim! Thanks for letting me know about this video. I knew violins were made with care, precision, and love but had no idea this was also true for fine guitars. :-)
An elegant guitar in appearance. Tasteful rosette. Luthier really went at carving the neck with confidence, since once you shave off wood, it's gone, you can't put it back easily or prettily. Most of the tools here are hobby level, with maybe some japanese chisels used on the neck. Well done!
Muy bueno el video y gracias por compartir su sabiduría con los que amamos el arte de la música. Desde Perú tenga mucho éxitos en sus instrumentos y buena salud.
Hermosa guitarra un bello arte en la noble madera mi admiración por el fabricante felicitaciones sinceras a Ud Sr. Siga pa Lante en ejercicio de una labor artesanal tan prestigiosa
It was positively therapeutic to watch you work and listen to Kim play. I could have stayed for hours. That is truly a beautiful sounding and looking piece that you have built. I was amazed at the amount of card scraping that you do. Would you consider making a video of how you sharpen your scraper? Clearly you use it so much that you must be a true expert on keeping it honed. Recently I've been struggling with sharpening this useful device. Beautiful work.
Of course, the guitar is exceptionally beautiful. I'm just as impressed by the video itself, which packs more appealing content in a small space than I would have thought possible. The video reflects admirable restraint. I'm struck by the pattern of the bracing used here. I've never understood the logic of other luthiers. The design used here makes so much sense. Well done!
Tô sem palavras pra descrever minha emoção em ver este artista construir o instrumento musical que mais amo. A arte começa desde sua construção até a sua execução. Quanto custa um violão desses?
Wow. After watching such careful and expert workmanship, and a serene video as this, I just have to order one...Hmm. double top. Love that.
Wonderful video. Perfect pacing, just natural sounds and so very engrossing. When the chisel was laid confidently the fingerboard, it was almost edge-of-the-seat!
Lovely tone to a beautifully-made instrument.
This must be the best job in the world. My endless admiration and respect for people who are able to do things like that.
If you didn't know this guy is my guitar teacher.

I don't want the video to end, absolutely amazing craft and guitar.
What a beautiful video
I can see in your hands how much you love what you do, incredible.
I'm a rookie classical guitarist. I love my guitar, the video is a work of art that is handcrafted with great patience and great patience.
Absolutely stunning. I don’t know how you guys do it. One little slip… I can’t imagine. You are worth every penny you charge. Thank you for this.
This is art. Its beautiful in every way. The care and love for the instrument. How his hands move with the lines and contures. This is craftsmanship.
I have built guitars all my life I'm 56 now good see someone who knows what their doing good job dude
what is your price for a solid cedar-top classical?
Beautiful job.
Such a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work.
What a piece of art this guitar is. Amazing job.
To think that a few minutes ago I was contemplating making my own guitar...

This shouldn't stop you, treat it as
a motivator!
Wow what a beautiful work of art. Absolutely stunning workmanship.

As student of classic guitar it is pleasure & instructive to see video of manufacture of classic guitar. Thank you.
A thing of absolute crafted beauty.....so relaxing to watch

One of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen.
I wish I could afford one of those...
As a fan of yours for many years, I can say it is always a truly uplifting experience to watch these videos of yours, David. I shall purchase one soon.
I'm amazed, what a master craftsmanship! A lot of elbow grease and endurance are required !
Better than anything you can watch on TV. I could have watched a two hour movie of it. I am now thoroughly discouraged from ever becoming an even pedestrian luthier
Here's an hour long of someone building £16000 ( yes thousand ) acoustics - th-cam.com/video/sAeXskZHC2o/w-d-xo.html
Carving that neck was pure Artistry! 👍. Nice playing Kim and congrats on your beautiful new guitar! 🥳
Not just a beautiful instrument but a work of art. Bravo.

Cuanto cuesta la guitarra
Great! Who's the luthier? Acoustic? Classical? Tone woods? Would love to hear it and see it sometime on YT!
I work in the car manufacturing industry, mainly high end cars, Bentley, rolls royce, Ferrari. I never look twice at them during my work but this guitar I could look at all day.

Now that’s how you hand craft a musical instrument.. absolutely beautiful. What a incredible talent you have.

OKay,, now i understand why a good handcrafted guitar is so expensive
Agreed. The attention to detail and pure artistry are wonderful to watch. You can spend $100 on a classical guitar and you get what you get, but this is on a whole different level. The materials and workmanship here are what make guitars like this worth the money, something you can treasure your whole life.
Because you need to be a carpenter, a cabinet maker, a sculptor and preferably a guitarist.
What this video doesn't tell you is:
-High-end guitars require high-end materials like rare and valuable wood (top spruce, redwood, rosewood (brazilian rosewood is banned from exploit due to it's so rare), maple, cedar, côcbolo, ebony, Hawaiian Koa...)
