🎸 Making a Classical Guitar From Scratch.

This guitar is for sale

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🙏

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!

This build, to me, is the most satisfying I have watched and I’ve watched many guitar building projects on YT. It’s as good as meditating.

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.

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'!

[brettroux]

I am nursing a whiskey i am so honored to find your build on you only do i believe that the classical guitar sound is one of the 7 wonders of the world, but i could feel all of tour thought energy and absolute brilliance to your build not to mention the can only say wow bravo and awesomely done best ti e of my life spent enjoying your editing and cinematography 2 ...3
...I now know the meaning of the word... thank you for you....

[josephfde]

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

[JaneWillow]

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 ❤

[redwardcats]

Thank you for sharing your great skills and making another Beautiful Classical Guitar

[alexandrsherbakov]

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.

[hervefaro]

That work is executed in such a meticulous way that I must say : Bravo the Artist.

[РоманЖуравлев-пя]

Я впечатлён!!! Внимательность, выдержка, упорство, искуство... Инструменты отдельная тема, все наточено, настроено... Умение, навык, опыт... Браво мастер! Я сам столяр, и что то умею, и понимаю, что это... Построить гитару, без спец оборудования... По старинке, это что то... Да и с оборудованием не у всех получается... Здорово ... Нет слов...

[JulioCaipo-kz]

Que maravilla. Gracias por la creacion

[viktorivanov]

Смотрел затаив дыхание. Тончайшая, ювелирная работа без жалости к себе, ради высочайшего качества. Титанический труд! Низкий поклон и уважение! Браво!

[harseybaber]

[limpkhan]

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

[ChrisShortyAllen]

That is a beautiful guitar and sounds amazing. Well done.

[netconeccion]

It s just relaxing to see how you do it so calm and precise.

[omiatesteja]

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 :)
