Beautiful example. I got an early sixties 3/4 scale archtop guitar. Brand is most likely Venlonia, a guitar factory in the south of the Netherlands. During their best years, there were 16 people building guitars. Standard aproach is cleaning and greasing the tuner mechanism, changing frets when almost gone, thus keeping reparations to the minimum. But I tried a full scale neck, and very light gauge electric D'Addario, still no pickup (yet?). This test version sounds good, but my makeshift neck joint is suffering a measure error (oops, ehm, fill piece now) and it IS strong enough, but okay, I really need to do this again. This is not a rare 17th century Les Paul, and my projects always inlude second thoughts, changes. Here I keep in mind, that going back to the original neck should not be too complicated. And oh yes, this slightly modified guitar is not a masterpiece, still, what I like is how the sound changes a lot, when you change volume and energy, and where you play the strings is making a difference. Yes, I like it. Now it's time to refine things. And now I know what possiblities a good luthier sees, designing an archtop. I will not do a 1:1 copy, though that is a challenge, can I meet all YOUR standards, can I build one that really sounds just like yours? Finding the right wood quality, that's the problem, how on earth will I find THAT wood? Mine will be brighter, or less bright, it will respond different, no matter how good my Meistertischler friends would help me. More interesting is building a variant. Larger body, combination of hard and soft wood in the top, open pore and lacquer in a clever distribution, this way copying could be good, for learning things. First ask permission, even if it is just one guitar, we do not want a bad one, a bad version of this one. Where is my saw?
Amazing luthiery skills and interesting ideas on show here. I'm a bit surprised that there hasn't been slightly straighter string pull designed in. We all love a well cut nut but there is serious splay on those strings
I agree. But, with her skills, her teachers, Larrivee and D'Aquisto, and artist list from Metheny to classical player Liona Boyd, perhaps she knows something we don't.
Beautiful guitar but Tony Rice owns the Holy Grail, the Clarence White gift with the wide hole and now the Tortoise Shell pick guard a gift from a fan Tony acquired in Japan.
What a talent she is, I can only imagine how her instruments would reverberate against your body, like some instruments can do when they are excecuted so well!
Not to take ANYTHING from Jimmy... but Linda was an excellent student. Attack, definition, separation. Clear, bright, and brilliant, but still deep, and woody.
Why sucking? Just remember that one inch is 2.54 centimeter. There is no problem. Be glad that inch is always and everywhere 2.54 cm. In navigation at sea, some units are based on the length of the huge circles parallel to the equator. One 360th part of such a circle is shorter, or longer, when you are more north or south. These units are scary. Minutes and seconds east or west. At the poles these things are zero, at the equator a long distance. And still, these things were used for calculating your position, after painstakingly careful observing a star or a planet. Brrrr, you need experience doing that correct. One plus or minus error can make you think you are at a safe ocean, and BANG where does that reef come from? Units, sir. Units.
inutile de nous montrer ces magnifiques Guitares Manzer car il est impossible de les commander ! le carnet de commandes est plein jusqu'en 2050 !!!!!!!!!
Kudos. Gimme that guitar, I’ll play it up one side of the street, and down the other. I make all kinds of guitars play the daylights out of them, but you’ll never know how great that ‘axe’ sounds until you seat it in MY Lap! (hook a cat up)
Yeah, I'm very sure that only you are capable of revealing the true beauty of even the greatest guitars. Given that, it's a little odd that none of us have ever heard of you.
I prefer by far the Gibson 30's like es150, l4, etc. The sound here on my system is too harsh. Sound more "folk guitar" than jazz. I imagine that it's the kind of guitar very difficult to play properly.
Um....did you happen to notice the mic this was recorded with? Were you not listening when Linda said that this was a brand-new guitar that hadn't started to settle in yet?
The SUV is just a piece of metal and plastic that goes down in value. What will this guitar be worth in ten years when the SUV has been recycled into Chinese rebar?
It's basically a 25 1/2" scale, and if you are selling guitars to Americans, then YOU "get with the program" and give the specs Americans are familiar with.
This show is about introducing and selling this guitar, partly to the to the American market. Yes, I know the U.S. should catch up with the world on metrics. That is totally beside my point. "You muricunts" only reveals you to be the one with prejudice here. Bite me.
@@FYMASMD how unexpected, a nationalist behaving immaturely. It's almost as if being immature and lacking culture and any kind of actual ethnic identity is a requirement for falling for the bourgeois nationalist lie.
Manzer visibly doesn't need to get on with your obsolete program, Gary. Good thing I meet Americans every day who aren't the kind of whiny nationalists you portray yourself to be here.

Simply gorgeous, powerful tone but crystal clear.
Magnificent!
Amazing how the tone comes through even with just a broadcast mic. That's really something.
Have followed Manzer's work for a few years-one of the best makers alive.
stunning guitar from an absolutely legendary builder. love her stuff!
The tone is noticeably spectacular and considering the quality of what we get online. WOW!
Amazing sounding instrument. So immediate and cutting, but still tender and pretty too
Dang what a beautiful sound on a guitar simply beautiful
Beautiful to look at, even more beautiful to listen to. I'll never be able to afford a great work of art like this.
Steal one..👍
If I'm not mistaken she also built Pat Metheny's baritone acoustic guitar he used to record and perform the "One Quiet Night" album.
You are correct.
When that guitar opens up, it will be even more magical !
William Sedgwick can you imagine that in 5 years
Wow beautiful guitar with a gorgeous sound! I'm definitely going to check out her guitars :-)
Have your wallet ready.
Manzer is a brilliant luthier.
Not ENOUGH women builders out there! (Or being showcased @ least!)
Yes she is!

I like finger style playing on this archtop. Must be quite a responsive instrument.
My compliments to a great axe artist.
Looks and sounds amazing.
You can realy see where the D'Aquisto influence in aesthetics come from and get applied.
Man, I would love to have that guitar. Linda is a master luthier.
Wish I could afford. Beautiful.
lovely acoustic sound.
Wow.. You had a great teacher!!! Guitar is amazing
god that's wonderful...
BEAUTIFUL GUITAR
Beautiful.
Sounds amazing!
Classical guitar scale.. 65 cm is 650mm or 25.591 inches
I like her... clearly knows her craft.... 👍
Magnifique lutherie......😍😍😍😍😍
I love it
Love the sound hole concept.
I live you Linda😍

You won't find even the smallest detail on a Manzer guitar that she didn't deliberately design in. To suggest that this was a "mistake" is just silly.
Beautiful guitar but Tony Rice owns the Holy Grail, the Clarence White gift with the wide hole and now the Tortoise Shell pick guard a gift from a fan Tony acquired in Japan.
Where to find "The Bear" manzer.com/guitars/archtop-guitars/18-inch/
I'll take 2 !!
Here! Take my money!
What a talent she is, I can only imagine how her instruments would reverberate against your body, like some instruments can do when they are excecuted so well!
Curious the price tag on this instrument.
Her teacher is D'Aquisto? She was an apprentice to Jean Larrivée.
After Larrivee, she worked on her own for a while, then went work for Jimmy D'Aquisto to master archtops. She's a treasure!
@@dooleyfussle8634 that's an impressive resume, not even counting her own achievements.
So lovely♡♧♡
Not to take ANYTHING from Jimmy... but Linda was an excellent student.
Attack, definition, separation. Clear, bright, and brilliant, but still deep, and woody.
Really you got this guy to demo your guitar?
Beautifull Looking Guitar..... & sounds Beautifull too !! :)
Archtops usually sound like garbage, this one does not. An accomplishment.
Beauty, but it would be even sweeter with a beveled edge where the right arm sits...
I like you, too, Canadian neighbor.
Around midnigth! good!!!!
Wow a womans touch

65cm = 25.59 inches.
2.54cm = 1 inch
65cm ÷ 2.54 = 25.590 inches.
For my fellow Americans who cannot convert Imperial Standard to Metric.
LOL! TIME to GET with the program!
It's called international, not metric ;)
Yes, ok, you keep telling your self that!
DMSProduktions Sorry but no, its name is international system. It's the official name.
I know, SI, Systeme Internationale! Based on the METRE, hence the name METRIC!
Wonderful builder, horrible interviewer.
I don't know how to play a in millimeters; that would be a possible deal breaker. 🤔
40k ?
You know what you can't measure with the Metric System? FREEDOM!.
That's what some Americans would say.
Those awesome rather long fingernails are like tools & 5 picks.
What’s the pickup that she use ?
Renda Pangestu Kent Armstrong
The fact that she makes wonderful guitars but are breathtakingly expensive is particularly frustrating for a player who has moderate means.
That equals 25.6 inches.

Why is the sound so much better on this clip than the rubbish we get served up in much of the rest of this series?
Quote - "I like Americans". LMAO.
Thank God she’s not anti-American. And I even love her as an American neighbor.
Why thanks Your god? Why not thanks Manzer herself?
Too beautiful to play?
David Morisset I would say yes until that beaut gets in your hands....
for the price, I'd rather spend a bit more and get an original D'Angelico. ;)
Don't you LOVE when people "THUMBS DOWN" an artist like Linda. They couldn't sweep up after Her. hahahahahahahaha
And then he plays.... Tears in Heaven?????
"pat metheny something like that? " interviewer should be fired..lol
Looks like rip off from Tak Sakshita's.guitar
Yeah but her guitars cost as much is a midsize SUV .
it’s just a piece of wood guys !
It a little more than that..
The SUV is just a piece of metal and plastic that goes down in value. What will this guitar be worth in ten years when the SUV has been recycled into Chinese rebar?
stunning guitar: underwhelming guitarist ..shame
Metric sucks
Ok, keep on going with your obsolete system.
NASA uses metric, so explain Yourself
Do better
