Almost there!! Happy days!!! I can´t believe it´s almost ready!!! Congratulations!! After all you have suffered, you´re at last approaching the easy bits. What a relief it must be for you, my friend! Can´t wait to hear it now!! Bravo!!!!!
Wow, Carlos... I think I've already told you but this is the more detailed luthier work I've seen on the internet... it is beautiful to see the light at the end of the tunnel... I know deeply how this has been a really hard effort for you but as I friend of us told once... after finishing this job there will be an after... you will become a very much better luthier than you were... I can see the amount of new skills you've learned already... so so glad to be part of this, at least as an audience... terrific work!!!!!
You can and may be proud of the result. It was such an interesting restoration process. Thank you for sharing with us. Best regards and congratulations.
I am absolutely convinced that the final steps and sound check will bring surprising results - the guitar will ome alive, I am 100% certain about this. The universe is alive and universe knows how much passion and love you have given into this project. It's like an alchemy process, the wood knows it as well. There is a transmission of subtle substances between the loving care of the luthier and the instrument. :) There is no way the guitar could conceivably sound worse than before. And with french polish after all is done, that will look stunning! I will be anxiously awaiting your next video. Hasta luego, compadre!
@@AnjudaGuitars I tell you with confidence, there is not a shread of doubt, since you haven't done any destructive steps, there is no expectation of the guitar's restoration might have gone wrong. On the contrary, you have devoted so much energy, time and planning, thought process and genuine love for the instrument - it would be against laws of the universe if this somehow ended up being a fiasco. One scientifically important question though. Have you done any recordings of the instrument before the entire restoration? This would be a valuable piece of evidence or documentation demonstrating the success, at the end. P.S. It is not so easy to destroy the guitar's inherent sound properties and potentiality. I know it sounds strange, but it is far more easier to reduce the resale value or historical value of the instrument, than destroying its musical usefulness. Some incorrect procedures may even improve the original condition and sound, yet at the same time will render it useless for collectors or people interested in all those gimmicks, patina and whatnot...
Such a fonderful and informative journey! I enjoy every second of it. Thank you very much for sharing this with us. I admire how you keep a positive attitude throughout, find solutions and end up with fantastic results. A true lesson of life. :)
hombre, me le quito el sombrero, en verdad eso requiere mucho valor para medírsele a un proyecto de semejante complejidad y características, felicitaciones; recuerdo que vos dijiste hace tiempo que no lo volverías a hacer, pero la verdad después de esto creo fidedignamente que lo que sea que se venga va a ser ínfimo a comparación. felicitaciones mi estimado. saludos desde Colombia
Felicidades! Que odisea. Me muero por oír la guitarra. Si no es mucho pedir... no termines la serie en el próximo video... esperamos 3 a 5 meses a que seque todo... y se rehumedesca la guitarra en su nueva posición. Un último video para oir si maduro el sonido y las cuerdas. Podrías incluso hacer otro video de la pura selección de cuerdas. No me digas que no! Hijole! Solo de comparar unas de catgut contra mis favoritas modernas.... Seran de tensión media o baja ? Incluso te sale otro video de solo discutir el acabado. A lo mejor estas cansado... lo entiendo. Minimo un video después de terminada. Que belleza...
Después de terminada, te prometo un vídeo con alguien que sepa tocar en condiciones y con buen sonido. Después de eso... se acabó! Comprende que ya no puedo más con este tema.
So close, can’t wait to hear it come to life. A question if you please, is there a specific reason why your newly created peones weren’t glued to the sides first rather than the back? Was it a concern about getting the height of the peones correct so the binding mated with the sides correctly?
Bingo! It was exactly that. The problem reconstructing this is that there is no room for sanding, everything needs to be glued spot on. That makes everything more complicated and I have to be creative with the methods. As the body of the guitar is so small, there was no way to find the right spot to glue the peones, so after a lot of thinking I came with this solution that I hope it works. Thanks for pointing it out!
@@AnjudaGuitars Based on the initial fit I’d say it was the right decision and your execution was very well done. This has been a very enjoyable project to witness and I’m definitely looking forward to the finish line.

Just the final steps! Thanks to you Wilbur, there is a part of you in this restoration.
@@AnjudaGuitars tenemos que celebrar ésto!! Es casi mejor que quitarse la hipoteca!!

Not only as audience Deivid! As a player!

I am proud actually, but this is always going to be bittersweet because of the accident. Thanks for being there!
Fantastic series 👏

Hope you are right because I don't have any idea if all of this is going to be rewarding at the end or a total disaster.
