    Wonderful! Not only was this a joy to watch for the level of skill and craftsmanship, but I love your workspace, the fact you’re in your slippers and hearing you sing while you work. You make it look effortless, the end result is stunning. Bravo!

    This is so inspirational! At home, with the minimal use of machinery, making a guitar that eats other guitars for breakfast, and singing in the process 😄 you're my idol hahahaha

Und das geht auch nur mit viel Wissen und Erfahrung, und nicht zuletzt mit einer sehr gut ausgestatteten Werkstatt, die du dein Eigen nennen kannst. Ich ziehe den Hut vor deinem Fähigkeiten. Weiter so! LG Thomas

    Wow. Some of your methods are ingenious. Best guitar build video I've seen. I have all the wood for a build but I find getting started a little bit daunting. You certainly have put this in perspective for me. Time to get glueing I think. Beautiful guitar too and it sounds great. Really well done.

    • @GabiM3112
      @GabiM3112  3 роки тому +3

      Well, try out the steps with a scrapwood guitar first and you'll learn a lot from that. My first one form scrapwood took me about 6 months, building from time to time between my real work and life, with only the ordinary tools I had at home. Now I need a week for a guitar, in between real life and work, so you certainly will get the idea of it quickly. Something that helps me is to always remember that with a material like wood you almost can fix anything that goes wrong. ;-) Good luck with your first build.

    Hello Gabriele. Your videos are very inspiring. I have appreciated your creativity and quality of your guitars and the ingenious tools and jigs you have made. I have been daunted by feeling I could not build a quality instrument at home, but you proved to me that it can be done and without extremely expensive tools. Thanks and I look forward to watching more of your videos.

    Incredible! Its a great competition, and I watched so many videos last year but to be honest I think I enjoyed this more than any of the ones I watched, despite there being some exceptional builds. When the build went from looking like a more standard acoustic, to then adding more and more detail and complexity I was hooked, and the final result is modern, yet still classy and tasteful. You would be a worthy winner!

    I spent the whole video wondering why on Earth you left the circle inlay with an incomplete spot. It seemed so odd for someone taking such attention to detail and with such incredible craftsmanship. And then I saw that the neck covered that spot and it all made sense. Thank you so much for your work, it was entertaining and enjoyable watching your skills.

By the way, this video was better than anything I could find on tv tonight.

The sound of it even thru a camera mic sounds really nice and warm. Nice work on the edit too. Not to long with a good mix of different parts of the process. I think I will take some of what you did and apply it to my final submission as well even though I am just doing a kit build.
