      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.

    • @RapperGuardi
      @RapperGuardi Před 4 lety +5

      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.

      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

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.
