cool to see the whole process!
Beautiful work! Very balanced and full sound. Thank you for posting.
You are welcome. I am happy that you enjoyed my video.
I want to .....
the best bit for me was watching him let his son have a go....... good man
Now THAT is a labor of love. Beautiful!!
Wow! I just owned a guitar like already 2 months and I care alot about it. This video gives me the feeling to love it even more! Thank you!
Man you just saw 5% of what he did to the guitar. I know because I am remodeling my old guitar. ) If you see his whole process, you will feel like a elite gem owner.))
One of the most beautiful things I`ve ever saw at CZcams. Congratulations Mr. Boone!
he making it with passion and love.
its not just a giutar, its an art
Who dislikes a video like this?!
+Graeme Woller maybe Johnnie Martin & Co., Mr. Derek Taylor, Saito Takamine, Richard Gibson... xD
+Graeme Woller probably people who are so eager to click the like button that they accidentally hit the dislike button in their haste.

Maybe someone who doesns't like a guitar(music) or maybe someone from Fender , Jackson , Gibson ????

Why do you think i don't like guitars ????

Beautiful inspiring video. Love the way you use your tools and got your son involved in learning the joy of shaping wood. I think you could teach a lot on the use of tools - why you do smooth strokes. I like the book matching on the headstock. Got to admit that I like headstocks that are not book matched, if they have interesting grain etc. Looking at your jig I recognised that I don't need so many tools as I thought to build a guitar. This surely is harping back to some of the original techniques of building instruments, but you have a nice clean modern twist on it. Music was great. It completed the video very nicely. This video is very therapeutic.
Born to feel.
I totally agree with you!
Brilliant - The jigs are incredible works of art in themselves!
My wife and I cleaned out my workshop yesterday. She wanted me to throw away all those 'bits of wood', which were my cabinet-making jigs. You have a lot of 'bits of wood'! Amazing Work Stephen.
the one thing i find amazing about this, is that there were 149 fools who watched the same thing i did and the result was displeasing. Yet they clicked on making a guitar. The man was a crafted,skilled, clean shop,good with tools, an the master of craft showed the young. I'm playing on this jassbass now, hommie make me an axe, He is the man
Very nice work. I love the traditional, old school method. I use an old school approach on my mandolins, but have to admit, I could learn a few things from you methods. Thanks for sharing.
Never, ever take guitar building for granted. I developed allergies to many exotic woods while at the same time got divorced and lost my home shop. Never got back into it after ten years. Sold all my tools and woods. It is a gift and a blessing. I still miss it. Enjoy it while you can. Thank you for sharing the video.
I love the way your jigs and tooling are so carefully and cleanly built. So many people's equipment looks like they threw it together to get it over with, but your care and thoughtfulness in the tooling must also come through in the finished product.
That smile on the kids face, thats how passion is born.
bonjour Monsieur et merci pour cette vidéo, vous pratiquez le plus beau métier du monde . Vous manipulez tous ces outils avec une grande précision. Respect monsieur.
whats wrong with that guys who dislike this video?? just haters of guitars?? kids under 10 yers?? great job mister! wished i could making my own guitar...
TRULY TRULY TRULY AMAZING!!!! A pure craftsman like no other.... To watch the process was a priveledge!!!! Not only are you an amazing craftsman gentelman but you involved your kids in the process...That to me is very classy well done sir
Absolutely beautiful. The time, the patience, the discipline! Very nice music also. I enjoyed very much. Thank you for this!
Beautifully made and played. One of the best videos I've seen. Thanks for uploading it.
The difference between BMW and a Lamborghini ? Handcraft. I just can't stop admiring how luxurious your guitars are, you sir ! Are creating a luxury. Hats off to your craft.
I just love the look of the Indian rosewood. It's such beautiful wood. You are a true craftsman with a high level of attention to detail.
I have done my share of wood work - construction to wood carving. But this is a culmination of many building and wood carving skills that Ive never seen in one person. Amazing Stephen! Beautiful craftmanship! The love and attention you give to every step of the construction is impressive. Thank you for sharing this. I really enjoyed your video and your work, Stephen. I look forward to any future projects that you'll share with us.
That's a guitar made with love. What makes it more special.
You are so talented, it's amazing how much passion you put into your guitars. It shows very much!
What a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work & passing on his skills to the next generation. Brilliant tools also. Thanks for sharing your skills.
If these Guitars are expensive, they are worth it, but the expression on the little lads face at 4.10 is priceless. Beautiful.
@ Stephen Boone that Indian Rosewood is absolutely Beautiful
My gosh these guitars are made with love!
It is refreshing to see a real craftsman at work.
Guitar is one of the most beautiful thing human has ever created. Nice video!!
As a life long scale model plane builder and amateur flamenco and folk guitarist, I was fascinated with your home-made precision jigs and other building solutions as well as the sureness with which to cut and shape materials. I wonder how Yamaha and other volume guitar makers automate the wonderful hand work of luthiers.
one of THE most enjoyable and educational videos I have seen in a long time.....good on ya Mr. Boone and thanks!
+Mike Martin Thank you and you are welcome.
always respect a great luthier who's still into classical !
I will never look at my guitar with the same eyes. Outstanding work!
you and your work are so beautiful!!! I'm so happy when i watching this video!!
24th my ass, looks like that's his 240th! so professional and detailed, lovely work my man.
Much respect for you Mr. Boone, I'm a novice guitar player and I now have an even deeper appreciation for my guitar.
now there's a guy who takes pride in his work and rightly so he's so talented!
Wow, I think I just found my dream job.
stunning man. I love seeing the "tricks" like fitting the braces, 1/2 gluing them and working on the back OFF the body. Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to document your process for us.
Thanks for watching!
Woodworking should be a relaxing labor of love. Yet, I'm strangely relaxed just to watch someone else do the work ;-)
In all seriousness, fantastic job! I wish I had a fraction of your woodworking chops :-) Keep up the great work!
Well that was just about the best 11 minutes I've seen in awhile ...... amazing.
As a guitarist for nearly 30 years now, watching this video was almost therapy, true artist, Thank you.
Well done sir, and I'm happy to see you getting your children involved in the craft.
I've never seen pure craftsmanship, this is great.
Sooooooooooooo many tools!!!!!! Amazing work. I know today we have a lot of technologies and tools to help us with fine arts and craftsmanship, but what I find to be the most important element is that we need to get our hands dirty and work with our body, mind, and instinct. I hope traditional artistry will continue on into the far future, even if we can simply "print" everything by then, I don't think anything will ever beat the human touch :)
Seeing this was sheer joy. Absolutely beautiful. Your work is appreciated.
I am glad that you enjoyed my video.
Stephen Boone I cant believe I watched that whole thing. Bravo! How long have you been doing this?
Kris Shellman
I built my first in 2008. I am currently on 39.
Wow. Just wow. I would love to play your made guitar.
I love the way he works. He really loves his job.
Мастер с большой буквы, да ещё с золотыми руками!
This is a great video. The l man is an absolute maestro of the craft, the attention to every detail is astounding. I recognise one of the pieces I am sure it was by Fernando Sor I remember learning it 20 years ago and still remember how to play it note for note, music is such a loyal friend.
I love watching things being made, especially when it involves carpentry :)
Wow, now that is craftsmanship if ever I saw it, I cabinet make and this inspires me further.
Thank you for your efforts in making this video for us all to see that craftsmen do exist still.
I'm most impressed by how sharp your cabinet scrapers are! That is a truly impressive skill!
what a wonder ... beautiful guitar that the man made
Amazing... Thanks for shared
Thank you Stephen to share your art with us. I am amazed!
Mesmerizing. The workmanship, the playing and the video. Excellent job.
Beautiful video and guitar. People who can carve a guitar neck from a block of wood are true artists. Or it's voodoo or something. Thanks for taking the time to produce and post the video.
Thanks very much. You're an artist.
How enriching is seeing a master at his craft. And guitar building is really an amazing craft.
What a wonderful video! I have worked on machinery many years and have so much admiration for those with these skills ,wish I had learned to work with wood like this! Hats off to you Sir
I'd really love to have a guitar from you! It would just feel so much better if I knew that it was hand-made like this, with that dedication to this lovely instrument and the craft to make it :)
that's something I can agree with
Beautiful work!
the most therapeutic 10 mins of my life
Those "highly/oddly satisfying videos" have got nothing on this one... Most satisfying video I have seen in a long time
damn what an art ! amazing work
Congratulations, that's a great skill you've learnt
I remember practicing "Here Comes the Sun" on my guitar at my grandma's house when I was starting to learn to play. Your outro brought back memories of those days. Well done! 👍
Intense!! A lot of patience, focus and attention to details. I don't think this is something I could do. But I'm glad to see people who have the ability!
This is so cool
Amazing craftsmanship and video editing. Great work. It inspires me to maybe consider building my own guitar one day.
Riki Yamashita Thank you very much, I am sure you can do it!
Love to see that you got the little guy involved. Great way to learn.
I can tell your proud of your creation. . . . . . . .and rightly so. I'm from a fabrication background and I'm as blown away with the jigs as much as your wonderful guitar. Should I ever win on the lottery I'll order one. Keep up the good work.
amazing.....i love it ...thank you sir
Very nice work; you should be proud. I recognize some StewMac tools in the video :-)
watching you shape that neck was so satisfying its not even funny. a true master of your craft
Mr. Boone, I just subscribed to your channel because of the love and attention to detail you show through your art. Beautiful piece of art! May your hands be blessed! Greetings from Puerto Rico (in the Caribbean Sea)!
that's awesome
I just don't understand how you could get so many dislikes for this video. A master craftsman at work - it was joy to watch. Your tool-set was amazing. Were those tiny finger planers? What sort of glue are you using that you need to heat it?
+B0M0A0K I make a lot of my own planes yes. That is hot animal hide glue. This sort of glue has been in use for thousands of years dating back to ancient Egypt.
Thanks for taking the time to make this informative video. Loved it. Keep up the good work.
I was taught how to watch and learn by my dad, this reminds me of the advantage I have, but for some to watch a video like this is just another video. I Enjoyed it very much! Thank YoU.
That is something to be proud of.
Thanks!
yes of course
Damn. I failed to make a guitar from an alder body blank in a decently equipped shop for a school project. This is inspiring me to try again as well as making my confidence drop significantly, lol.
LJPV777 That inspired but not so confident feeling never really goes away. Remember my 4 steps to guitar making....Attempt, Fail, learn, Repeat. Good luck!
Thanks a bunch. It's not so much an "Aw man, I'm never gonna get this" feeling. It's more like an "Aw shit that's some more money I gotta spend" when a router bit takes off a little bit more than it can chew.
Stephen Boone are u selling the guitars
Stephen Boone Amazing Thank you for the video
Never give up :)
Looks like you put as much craftsmanship into your fixtures as you do the guitars! They are lovely!
Это же сколько надо терпения чтобы сделать такую гитару? браво создателю!!!))
amazing skill hats of to you sir stephen
action movie
Muito ilustrativo, queria há vinte anos ter tido acesso e este tipo de informação.
Wellington Araújo e eu até hoje quero!
Fascinating!!!!
It is a joy to watch a craftsman work.
I have been building guitars most of my life and I really admire your attention to "Hand Crafted" and used minimal machinery. Very nice work~
sublime
hermoso gracias
This is really an art that must be kept,I loved when the little kid did his work......!!!
Good to see a craftsman at work, beautiful :)
Amazing how much hand work is involved
Золотые руки！👍
Saved on my gallery for when I start my project of acoustic guitar, after finishing my current bass guitar building! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work inside and out of the guitar. You show it all unlike so many other guitar makers of years ago. Best wishes!
