Description
In response to readers of the popular book “Classical Guitar Making: A Modern Approach to a Traditional Design” (T20399), luthier/author John S. Bogdanovich has produced a DVD series on guitar building. This 10 DVD series demonstrates the construction of a concert classical guitar from beginning to end. Every step of the way has been captured in amazing clarity with widescreen video format to help guide you in making a true concert level instrument.

This video series is the first of its kind on classical guitar making. The content has been carefully edited to make the viewing interesting, and the content to flow nicely. All processes are carefully explained with helpful graphics where necessary, leaving no stone unturned. Viewers concur, this is a first rate production.

This guitar features an open lower transverse brace on the soundboard, designed to expand the area of the top directly involved in sound production. The new guitar design presents new challenges, and new techniques are implemented to meet them. Aimed at the experienced woodworker or luthier, this series shows how to utilize power tools and equipment to get the job done quickly, and more accurately. There is also ample close up video of detailed hand tool work.

Note: Due to their nature, DVDs are non-returnable. Defective DVDs will be replaced.

This DVD series comes with a complete set of full size color drawings and acetates for the guitar as well as drawings for many of the jigs and fixtures used in the video. The following color drawings are included on the disc 10:

  • Full sized guitar drawings
  • Top acetate

  • Side slot cutting jig
  • Purfling cutter revised
  • Inside heel cutting sled
  • Shooting boards
  • Bench hook

    Upon completion of the guitar there is a special appearance by international concert performer and recording artist Stanley Yates. If you liked the book, you will love this DVD series.
