As a professional guitarist and teacher, I enjoy building guitars.
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to all of the wonderful people who have assisted me in this exciting venture. Your continued support means the world to me.
Thank you so much🙏

Awesome, fascinating and enchanting. One thing I had to chuckle at (I'm an 'old' carpenter with most of my tools over 4 decades old), all your tools are brand new and shiny. One day, your tools will also be half worn out, but they will all have lovely tales to 'tell'!

Few things are as enjoyable as watching someone build a guitar, especially with this precision and attention to detail.

Very good technique, wonderful tools and a lot of patience and talent. You simply made a work of art.

Очень впечатлен мастерством, огромное спасибо за удовольствие от просмотра! Приятно видеть еще и то, что великолепный инструмент живет в таких руках и проектах (а не на полке в виде фетиша). Прочитал тут комментарий о том, что цена завышена, хотел сказать, что не нужно сравнивать среднюю цену по рынку с ценой отрезка времени художника, как оценить - это абсолютное право автора. В 17-м году сделал свою первую лютневую гитару собственной конструкции, строил полгода. И для меня она вообще бесценна, как первый опыт и эмоции. Даже был интересный разговор с коллекционером уникальных инструментов, объяснял ему парадокс - почему моя на коленке собранная лютневая гитара будет стоить дороже образцов от профи-лютье, человек понял и принял мою точку зрения. Сейчас, 5-й месяц, доделываю вторую - 12-струнную уже, также по своей конструкции и для себя. Такие видео-материалы очень вдохновляют на новые подвиги! Спасибо! Здоровья и новых интереснейших проектов!

Смотрел затаив дыхание. Тончайшая, ювелирная работа без жалости к себе, ради высочайшего качества. Титанический труд! Низкий поклон и уважение! Браво!
-
What a beautiful atmosphere throughout this entire video! The craftmanship, patience and warm attitude is very reassuring. Thank you for this fantastic experience and beautiful guitar.
-
Качество исполнения на высочайшем уровне, такая гитара просто не имеет права не звучать! Мастеру - огромный респект, за терпение, качественный инструмент и оснастку, ну и конечно же за высочайшее мастерство. Я восхищен.

The level of detail work inside the body is astounding!

I have heard a lot of classical guitars. That is one of the best I have ever heard. It is beautiful, your woodworking and luthiery skills are wonderful, but, if the end result doesn't match all of that, if it doesn't SOUND good, then it was all for nothing. That guitar is definitely worth something. It has that certain timbre and sweetness that just makes you want to hear more. That's magical. Great job, Aleksey.
-
Beautiful attention to detail. There are many things we do in the same way, but there are equally other things we do quite differently. For example, I shape my fan struts before gluing them.
-
Watching it again. Great register.
-
Gorgeous, just gorgeous.

Золотые руки , аплодирую 👏 стоя ! Браво мастер !!!

I love your daughters drawings... I could spend the rest of my life trying to sketch with such innocence and freedom. Oh..i liked the 1st one too...the Little line of people on the brace wood ❤
-
Вроде и понимаешь умом, что гитара успешно построена и даже продана, а все-равно на каждом этапе переживаешь. Великолепная работа во всех аспектах!
-
What a lovely video. The thing I like most is the sounds of life (children, kitchen...) in the background. It feels so natural to build guitar in the middle of everything else important - this is the way it should be. Aiming to the same :)

Вам удалось создать, как минимум, два замечательных творения за однин период времени. Успехов!

Sou produtor musical e tive a oportunidade de poder conhecer, e ter o prazer de trabalhar com diversos e melhores violonistas brasileiros e também tocar em seus violões construídos por luthiers, posso afirmar com certeza que o vídeo que acabo de assistir é sem dúvida de um dos melhores construtores de violões do mundo, belíssimo e primoroso trabalho, meus sinceros parabéns.
