What do you think about it? Honestly, it was ups and downs during the build, but now i really love this guitar

I use to build custom guitars years ago. Loved working with wood, watching the wood change and form with each task. Sometime reading the wood dictates

Hi Chris, also von mir hast du vollsten Respekt für die Ruhe und Liebe bei deiner Arbeit. Diese Energie, die du deine Kreationen mit auf den Weg gibst ist einfach wunderschön anzusehen. Als ehemaliger Tischler hätte mich so ein Schaffen auch begeistern können. Wirklich wertvoll dass es Kunsthandwerk wie deines im Herzen Europas noch gibt. Viel Erfolg und alles Gute auf deinem Weg.

I think Christian is really a luthier to be trusted. He will go the extra mile for you and is very passionate and skilled.

I can't believe he cut that scarf joint with a hand saw. I am going to try that!

Awesome! Really great build and video. I enjoyed the whole thing. I really like the detail you added to soundboard on both sides of the fingerboard.

Amazing build. Bravo

Ваша гитара это совершенное мастерство. Хочется услышать ее голос певучий и трогательный, нежный и яркий. Вы блестательно сделали акантовку розетки и дополнили ее безукоризненным узором, это просто выше всяческих похвал😊

super great job

Meus parabéns, Chris. Cada vídeo que vc solta é mais impressionante que o anterior. Eu já tive o prazer de tocar em um dos seus violões, realmente é diferenciado!

Só há uma definição. Espetacular. A arte desde sua genesis até os pentagramas em seu floridos tons musicais Para bens meu amigo

Finally, someone building a classic guitar mostly with hand tools. Not everyone has a powerful band saw or think it's 'ethic' to use a power sander to get the soundboard to thickness. Nice build and fantastic ASMR video.❤ One question: do you find easier to thickness the back before cutting it to shape? I find that one tedious task with hardwood, and cutting it before thicknesing means less material to work with😅

All hand tools, wow!

Um zelo um cuidado da gosto a gente ver vale pena uma obra de arte sensacional
