You are an INCREDIBLY TALENTED man, Jerry! Enjoy the videos and like other's, I don't understand the "yahoo's" that give you a thumbs down? I can only chock it up to the fallacy of mankind, jealousy. Thank you.
I work in an industry where we mix imperial units and metric units on the same project. So, mixing fractions with metric units is perfectly understandable.
Jerry a real enjoyable video. The comfort armrest is beautifully done. Your confidence going forward of having an attitude that "you'll figure it out " is inspiring. Super, thank you.
Wow! When the music plays you work at super speed. I wish I could duplicate that in my workshop :) Beautiful binding. I love that insert at the bottom.
i can safely say when god was giving out hands he put you at the top of the list.amazing workmanship.its raining plenty here in Ireland so spend my day watching this guitar build Genius for sure and a pretty good singer.
It is astonishing to watch you do that. It's also worth saying that I am so grateful that you talk through your decision making processes - it adds a lot to my comprehension as well as my enjoyment of your videos
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Did you become a musician first or a luthier? I just want to say, I love your music just as much as your wonderful building and repair work on instruments. I watched this video a second time all the way through just so I could hear the music again. You sure are a man of many talents. It seems like you put the same quality of effort into everything that you do. May god bless you and yours in every aspect of your life.
Thank you very kindly my friend. It actually evolved at about the same time. And I started playing, couldn't afford a very good instrument, and decided to build my own.
Very nice. I love the back binding. Wish you would share more info on the musicians on the songs. Being a Missouri boy myself and a bluegrasser I might know some of them folks
Please stain the the neck Jerry. It’s not a Maple neck Fender. So far, it’s a beautiful, rich, elegant guitar. Love your work. I would be proud to own one of your instruments.
Just want to thank you sir. I do a little guitar repair but am nowhere near your level. I've learned much from watching you work but I think more importantly, you've motivated me to try harder and do better. You never seem to settle for it'll do or it'll work. You aim for perfect or as near perfect that can reasonably expected as your customer's budget will allow. Am I correct in assuming many hours of shop time never gets billed because your desire to do the best is greater than the customers bank account? May your God bless you and those you love.
You sure are getting your money's worth with the finger plane! Looks like the "jack of all tools". Got a good laugh at: "here goes nothing on an empty stomach".... never heard that one before. Contrats on the binding job, it looks great!
Patience and perseverance are two of my prized traits, but you are saintly compared to me, and anyone I know or admire in that dept. Wonderful result and a 'life-lesson' to witness. Thanks for the turorial.
Great Job Doc!! Really like the look of this build and anxiously await the completion. Love all the music on this post, your a very talented, multi level craftsman!! Thanks!
Stunning !!! And great music..its a welcome relaxing relief from my hectic work and my mental music taste...its nice to just chill out and listen to something that i would normally not even be interested in ....you are a talented musician and an amazing Luthier...peace and Love buddy...👍☮❤
At the 21:00 mark, you said you were dreading the binding because it's real wood, and I thought, "Dreadnaught, Jerry...dreadnaught..." I'll show myself out.
Looks awesome. The tail part did give it a beautiful touch or look. The binding is also great. The arm cut off part looks beautiful with the binding. It all blended really good giving it a unique look. Just perfect Jerry.
Many thumbs up Jerry. You are doing an amazing awesome job with this guitar. I love the end peace. I can't wait to see the other videos. Congrats on the new tool. Thank you for sharing to video. I hope you have a truly blessed week.
This guitar is coming along nicely. Those extra little bits of white that show at each end of the arm rest could have been cut out and replaced with a bit of glue mixed with the sawdust created when you made the cuts for the binding. I don't know if it would have been worth the extra work. Those small white bits aren't all that noticable.
Dang it Jerry! I am supposed to be doing work but here I am being distracted by another awesome video of yours!!!! Awesome work man!! Can't wait to hear what she sounds like. Its really rewarding to see that there are still hard working creative dedicated craftsmen like you around. Thanks again. Awesome video. Take care :)
Great work Jerry. I absolutely loved the song about Mary. Your skill always leaves me gobsmacked how in a lifetime have you amassed such skills ? it dumbfounds me, I thoroughly enjoyed this video and the music is so good, Thank you my friend for all your hard work and the time you give to produce such interesting videos. Love and Peace from Bonny Scotland.
Thanks for putting the millimetre sizes in your videos, like many of your viewers not from the USA I struggle to understand measurements described inches and thousandths of inches. The inclusion of the metric system for your videos is very helpful and considerate.
Hi, try this link to a free mm to inch converter. www.rapidtables.com/convert/length/mm-to-inch.html I use it all the time, as so many other sites vary between measurement systems.
It's looking very very nice. Talk about attention to detail. Love watching your build videos. Came across your channel a little while back through Randy. Looking forward to your next video. Thank You.
Another fantastic video Jerry! Wish I could afford one of your creations. Just LOVE them! I would have loved to see what a walnut strip would have looked like on the tailpiece, but what you have is FABULOUS!!! Keep the great videos coming!
Mr Rosa you just keep pouring out your incredible craftsmanship The colours of the timbers chosen are my favourite and I can't wait to see the finish but hope you do the neck first
Needed to pause for a moment, so I won't forget to tell you this. First of all, this is already incredibly beautiful and well done! Oh man! You are a genius! But my main concern here is to thank you. THANK YOU that you "translate" the inches-thing to me, being from millimeter land. :D That inches stuff is totally confusing me. Really... why do you rather say "a thirdysecond of an inch" instead of (I don't know)... "one point two millimeters"? :D This seems so intricate to me. ;) Okay, I keep on watching know. My evening is saved. Thank you! :D
While I can’t speak for Jerry, I’d say it’s just being taught a certain way in school and what you get used to. There are really three or four different things going on though. The first is where you start at 1. An inch being about the width of your thumb is a much different beginning reference than a millimeter, maybe the width of a wood pencil. So the anchor point, 1, is much different right off the bat. The second thing relates to multiples, as you go up (and down) a full value it makes a different amount of “difference”. So the scale of the numbers like 6in vs 6mm don’t correspond very well. 6in is so much more than 6mm they seem like completely different things and that changes the value of 6. It’s easy if you’re used to it but it makes switching from one to the other harder. 3rd is more our problem with the “English” system but in school, fractions were a major part of learning math. The idea of 3/32nds isn’t foreign, or an inch and 7/8 isn’t confusing at all but no one says “it’s 1 3/4mm. It’s 1.75mm. Fair enough, the decimal system works well and we do use it and really it is better (in my opinion), when speaking about thousands of an inch we are simply anchoring the value three decimal places to the right, but still using that thumbs width as our 1. And finally, after all that work in school passing those tests, we just kept using it and being American means we really don’t mind being different even if it’s not better. I have tried to convert myself and found it difficult to go completely metric, traveling 10kilometers at 50kph still hasn’t gotten into my mind. The decimal system on the other hand was an easy conversion but when I roll out a tape measure, I still look at the inches. It’s just hard to teach an old dog new tricks 😉.
Singer, songwriter, musician and luthier! You, my friend, are a true renaissance man! 👍
You are an INCREDIBLY TALENTED man, Jerry! Enjoy the videos and like other's, I don't understand the "yahoo's" that give you a thumbs down? I can only chock it up to the fallacy of mankind, jealousy. Thank you.
Very nice ,I like the end piece ,white,black ,white ,perfect,,
You mighty brave routing binding channel by hand!
"three quarters of a millimeter" cracks me up!
Well I generally measure everything in thousands. One one thousandth of an inch is 1/40 of a millimeter. That's the Precision I work too
I work in an industry where we mix imperial units and metric units on the same project. So, mixing fractions with metric units is perfectly understandable.
Jerry a real enjoyable video. The comfort armrest is beautifully done. Your confidence going forward of having an attitude that "you'll figure it out " is inspiring. Super, thank you.
Can't wait to see the finished instrument. Keep up the good work. Greetings from mm land.
WOW!!! Someone is going to be super happy with this guitar. Can't wait for the next installment.
Wow that's gonna be a real looker, Jerry. Thankyou for your trouble and kindness.☺
Wow! When the music plays you work at super speed. I wish I could duplicate that in my workshop :)
Beautiful binding. I love that insert at the bottom.
Jerry, I always enjoy your videos! God bless you!
You're a wizard Jerry! Harry Potters got nothing on you.
Stunning piece of work. Thanks Jerry.
Really enjoying the build; the music is awesome!!
very nice work once again Jerry ,really enjoyed the song as well had to listen again "Bringing Mary Home " Great song !!!
Great work. The end graft is classy!
The black was an excellent choice on that wedge shaped inlay, it really makes it look sharp.
looking good. I can't wait to see the finish product. Thank you for sharing.
Your decisions on the trim has sold me on hitting subscribe You are awesome Jerry
there should be a place for three thumbs up Great Work
I was relieved to see that you were able to cut those lines "without screwing up something else". 😂
Great work Jerry!
Excellent work there Jerry.
Just watched the Nashville nummering class liked it , thank you
I am so hooked on this build that I might need a twelve step program to get unhooked. Also, I might have to pay someone to walk the dog.
Thank you my friend.
I found myself holding my breath when you free hand routed that area by the armrest... Wow, it came out perfect. Can I breath now!!
Great job as usual. I really like the bottom end treatment you came up with. This one is definitely not a cookie cutter guitar.
Beautiful !! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
i can safely say when god was giving out hands he put you at the top of the list.amazing workmanship.its raining plenty here in Ireland so spend my day watching this guitar build Genius for sure and a pretty good singer.
Very cool.... Love it, can't wait for the next vid...
Refined work. Remarkable Jerry 👍. Nice to watch and learn how a great guitar's inside is built. 🎶🎶🎶
It's turning out beautiful!
Hey Jerry fill that spot with black. great vedio.
Very beautiful!!
So beautiful!
MY own guitar built by Bill Herringe in Australia has exactly this combination, white, herringbone, maple. Has lasted 30 years still look so good.
thank you Jerry
Putting all the binding on the guitar you made it look real easy, but I wouldn't want to try it, LOOKS REAL NICE & PUT ON BY A EXPERT!
It is astonishing to watch you do that. It's also worth saying that I am so grateful that you talk through your decision making processes - it adds a lot to my comprehension as well as my enjoyment of your videos
You are a master, Jerry!
Lookin' good!
Really enjoyed the vid, cheers.
Fantastic craftsmanship, Jerry!
You have a really good eye for detail and the patience of a saint.
Can't wait for the next instalment.
Nice job!
That's going to be one beautiful guitar. Can't wait to see the next video. I really hope your customer appreciates all your good work.
That's certainly turning out to be a work of art. Looks fantastic. Can't wait to see the finished guitar and hear it sing!
Looks great!!! I f I ever get rich I'll have you build me a guitar!!!
And that is how you give a master class in hand made guitar body craftsmanship
I Love it
Thank you Jerry for taking us along in the creative process. I love your work and am always looking forward to your new videos.
Beyond cool, Jerry!
Guitar is coming along great Jerry. Your freehand routing never ceases to impress.
Good ..just your intuition.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Did you become a musician first or a luthier? I just want to say, I love your music just as much as your wonderful building and repair work on instruments.

Thank you very kindly my friend. It actually evolved at about the same time. And I started playing, couldn't afford a very good instrument, and decided to build my own.
That bottom inlay is incredible
Great craftsmanship. You have a great feel for the soul of the wood that only comes from experience, and love of the craft.
I had my fingers crossed for you and it's turning out great. Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail as usual.
Golly...Jerry!!! You had me holding my breath throughout this whole video! Beautiful binding combinations. Excellent work...as usual!
Jerry really made that dremel do his binding. Kinda nerve racking to watch tho, so good call on the spoiler alert.
...the two black strips on the tailpiece was definitely the right call, really sharp!
looks beautiful. i dont think ive told you this but i think you are youtube gold.
Very nice. I love the back binding. Wish you would share more info on the musicians on the songs. Being a Missouri boy myself and a bluegrasser I might know some of them folks
Please stain the the neck Jerry. It’s not a Maple neck Fender. So far, it’s a beautiful, rich, elegant guitar. Love your work. I would be proud to own one of your instruments.
BEAUTIFULLY DONE, JERRY!
beautiful work Jerry. As always a real pleasure to watch .
As me old pappy would say. Thats one mighty fine looking geeetar !!
Just want to thank you sir. I do a little guitar repair but am nowhere near your level. I've learned much from watching you work but I think more importantly, you've motivated me to try harder and do better. You never seem to settle for it'll do or it'll work.

Verrry nice, Jerry. Touching an instrument body with a router always has me sweating. This is going to be a beautiful guitar.
Nice! Enjoyed the original tunes also.
Lovely Job on that binding Jerry, the whole body is looking awesome and can't wait to see it all finished, you are a true craftsmen, Cheers my friend.
That is one beautiful looking box. Watching this has gotten me super itching to get back to building, great stuff.
You sure are getting your money's worth with the finger plane! Looks like the "jack of all tools". Got a good laugh at: "here goes nothing on an empty stomach".... never heard that one before. Contrats on the binding job, it looks great!
Very nice work can't wait to see the finale. I enjoy watching your videos.
Patience and perseverance are two of my prized traits, but you are saintly compared to me, and anyone I know or admire in that dept. Wonderful result and a 'life-lesson' to witness. Thanks for the turorial.
Great Job Doc!! Really like the look of this build and anxiously await the completion. Love all the music on this post, your a very talented, multi level craftsman!! Thanks!
I love installing binding, and from the looks of you do too. Beautiful job, my friend!
Stunning !!! And great music..its a welcome relaxing relief from my hectic work and my mental music taste...its nice to just chill out and listen to something that i would normally not even be interested in ....you are a talented musician and an amazing Luthier...peace and Love buddy...👍☮❤
She's looking sweet,Jerry nice touch with the binding and the arm rest!Cheers
At the 21:00 mark, you said you were dreading the binding because it's real wood, and I thought, "Dreadnaught, Jerry...dreadnaught..." I'll show myself out.
Beautiful - so creative - great stuff Jerry!
Great work. I look forward to all your videos.I can't wait to watch the neck being made. Looks terrific!!!
Yes! Great series Jerry!
use the offcut from the blond top for the tail
Double thumbs up Jerry! I can hardly wait for the next video on this guitar.
Looks awesome. The tail part did give it a beautiful touch or look. The binding is also great. The arm cut off part looks beautiful with the binding. It all blended really good giving it a unique look. Just perfect Jerry.
That guitar is coming along nicely!
Ive heard a story like that song before. Ol' Mary was a Haint. She was deader than a doorbell. 😂
Good video Mr. Jerry!
Many thumbs up Jerry. You are doing an amazing awesome job with this guitar. I love the end peace. I can't wait to see the other videos. Congrats on the new tool. Thank you for sharing to video. I hope you have a truly blessed week.

I use it all the time, as so many other sites vary between measurement systems.
Paper Sphere I’m from England I fully understand imperial and prefer it to metric .
I usually install the end graft before doing the binding...it eliminates the reverse complications of doing it after the binding Looking Good!!
It becomes self clamping that way too.
Man alive that is going to be a Purdy guitar! Bet it sounds as good as it looks!
No man, it's going to be a Rosa guitar! Purdy makes his own guitars!
It's looking very very nice. Talk about attention to detail. Love watching your build videos. Came across your channel a little while back through Randy. Looking forward to your next video. Thank You.
Amazing guitar so far. Love the Herringbone purfling
Precision work my friend! It's looking really nice!
Another fantastic video Jerry! Wish I could afford one of your creations. Just LOVE them! I would have loved to see what a walnut strip would have looked like on the tailpiece, but what you have is FABULOUS!!! Keep the great videos coming!
