Your a pain.

At the the 30 second mark, Paco cuts a look to the Guy who is playing across from him as if to say right shut the fck up I'm going to play something meaningful and say something insightful :)

is it possible for a guitar to be french polish and painted in red or other common colors in flamenco guitars?

Thanks for the very clear demonstration and explanation. I'd like to ask you which electric drill winder bit you have, it looks more protective of the instrument than the one's I've seen. I'd feel more secure using something like that as opposed to the hard plastic variety that could potentially scratch the finish.

My guitar already sounds stellar, so I’m very excited to see how it will develop with time! Gracias Maestro Erez!! ❤

Amazing

Un gigante……

❤❤❤

Very nice guitar!

Thank you for this detailed explanation, man. I appreciate this just like anyone who needed it🔥

This video was helpful

Excellent explanation ! The best I've heard. I will practice it and will go to the next one. The right hand is way much difficult it seems... But a lot of alliterations too..

I am usualy the kind of guy who's always searching forward Kasha, composites, double top, etc... And while I was listening to you and your lovely guitare I was wondering why searching for a thing that already exist ? The alliance of spruce and cypress has proven once more its pertinence. I wil search for some images of the construction if they exist. Thanks for sharing your love of crafting guitars.

W video! Never in my life I’ve stringed a guitar for so long! It took my 2 hours 😭

Thanks s lot man❤

Amazing instrument ! Great work 👏👏👏🙏

I am a retired symphony musician, who is now studying classical guitar, and a good friend of mine (I won't name-drop) plays one of your instruments. It is a work of art. I am so envious! May you continue to make art for a very long time. 🙂

Fantastic Job 🎸🎶👍 and music

Buff sin palabras

It has the sound of a traditional flamenco guitar as the wood and body depth make evident. It's a good guitar. Paco preferred the concert flamenco guitars by Hermanos Conde sobrinos de Esteso. The Conde Hnos. guitar has a cedar top and deeper body.

Same amount of time to build if than to french polishing it. Whaou. 😮 And what about hard oil for a less precious instrument ?

I've done 6 more holes on the 1/4 guitar of my son to lower the action and I didn't really know how to tie the strings on that modified bridge. I've now got the best method ! Thanks a lot.

The explanation is very clear. Thank you. One question to ask is will you use the nail clipper to cut off the extra strings on the head side? If yes, how much to cut off?

You said you were self-taught mostly... how long did this take you?

That thing is incredible. It sounds a bit like if you put an Oboe d'amore tone into a classical guitar. This instrument: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHi3YZyGpbpsn9U I think there is this "crying" sound that is in really beautiful instruments... I'm just starting my luthier journey, but I think I'm going to make a wider variety of instruments and invent new instruments... Starting out with a lyre so that I can learn a bunch of rough mistakes. But I'm trying to incorporate the sound of the viola da gamba, harp and lute into this lyre with its soundboard and bracing structure. Funny enough, the wood I am using for the soundboard is cheaper than the wood I am using for the rest of the guitar - hardware store cedar, but where I just went and tapped on a bunch of pieces until I found a quartersawn piece I really liked. Heh. Once I get better at this I'll be using more specialty lumber. Also... this is the best classical guitar I've ever heard, how much do you charge? It somehow has "Steinway" and "Oboe d'amore" in it haha

It's like the guitar becomes apart of him and he's telling us how he feels from the soul

🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏

Thank you for such a detailed and clear description. I was always tying knots on the treble strings, but this way is much easier, faster and more elegant.

Efharisto!

Thanks Erez. Great explanation. This is how I will restring my 12 hole guitars going forward.

I am extra careful. With plain nylon string I like to burn the end of it to form a ball. That way it will never slide off. With the wound string, I like to make an extra loop around the pressing point.

El mas grande en la tecnica nos enseña como se toca con el alma¡

Looks straight forward but I did have some issues. I think holding the free end of the string, after it's been pulled through the loop, against the back of the bridge is important to get the the loop twisting the right way. I did, however, have slippage of carbon strings, E and B string, despite roughening the end with sand paper. I suppose the demonstration is with nylon trebles and maybe they grip better? I now take the free end of the E and B string twice through the loop after it's been twisted and so far so good. :)

Your video screwed me up so bad I lost a set of strings. Wtf is the “ lower hole” Why hide the strings as you loops them.? First do no harm don’t post incorrect misleading videos.

excelente guitarra Maestro, gran Luthier

Creador y genio. Tocando el inigualable. Don Paco....

El mejor de todos los tiempos!!

I can no longer differentiate between the top and bottom holes on my 12 bridge, would it be more common practice to start the string in the hole closest in proximity to the bass side?

By far the best 12 hole bridge string changing video on KZbin! Thank you!!

So the lesson learned is, no single rule applies. Try it out, but don't go blind

Also, the direction for winding strings on the headside, I had the 4th and 3rd strings touching the center wood part if I followed your direction. IDK how, maybe your guitar and mine are differently structures.

It was a good video, until I realized my holes on the bridge are actually opposite. Otto Vowinkel 2A, spruce. Now I gotta redo the thing. Too bad, thanks anyhow

Thank you for such a clear demo! Reduced my anxiety about changing the strings for the 1st time on an expensive guitar.

Excellent video. I watched a lot of them. Even though I don't have a 12 hole bridge, this is an excellent tutorial, because a very confusing step is tying the string to the tuning machines, which almost no one explains clearly. Thank you Erez!

Wow superb

Congratulations!. You must have been so proud.
