I don't think I've seen a more unorthodox approach to building a classical guitar, but the attention to detail is still astounding.

[@markmanning2921]

has to be one of the best looking rosettes i have seen in a long time

[@DieterSchneider]

Thank you! that's nice to hear.

[@MrIvanm4]

If this guitar background piece for this video is from the guitar beeing made,I would say its the best sound for a guitar that I have heard in my whole life,just such an excelent sound......I would buy all my guitars from you!! simply awsome sound and workmanship. finest guitars!!

[@MrMjp58]

I felt privileged to be able to watch this super skilled craftsman at work.

[@FISHERPACO]

Que hermosa construcción, es un deleite ver como se crea una obra maestra, Felicitaciones señor Luthier.

[@magicalbeer]

This is a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your process. Amazing work.

[@DieterSchneider]

Thank you so much!

[@glencollins1859]

What a beautiful video (and soundtrack) ... mesmerising !!!

[@DieterSchneider]

Thank you very much!

[@akfisher7138]

A tip you may know but maybe others don't: instead of double sided tape for planing thin or awkward shapes, use masking tape, and super glue. tape both bench and piece. Put super glue to glue both tape surfaces and then when finished just rip off tape. I have 'clamped all sorts of awkward pieces, and even trusted it to hold down template for routing. Quick too!

[@DieterSchneider]

Yes, that works pretty well, I actually have a video showing that trick, but to be honest, I like double sided tape better (even though it can be a bit harder to get off)

Dieter...kan ik u aub achter een tip vragen vanuit Arta Griekenland waar ik me bevind? Ik bouw ook muziekinstrumenten...ivm frezen inlegwerk abalone gaat de vraag...of graag een email. We zijn nu samen met mn 4 kids een heilig JEZUS Kruis aan het maken

I think I just fell in love with this! I'm loving both the guitar and the video. Congrats for such an awesom job!

[@DieterSchneider]

Thanks so much!!

[@sjurgabriel]

What a great achievement and a beautiful guitar! If you are going to build more I would very much like to see even more detail and longer videos :-)

[@DieterSchneider]

More to come!

[@Patrick-d6z]

Great video and an amazing guitar! Wonderful craftsmanship and a delight to watch.

[@DieterSchneider]

Thank you kindly!

[@massimilianocampana3951]

Wonderful job. Even if looks like more a flamenco blanca than a classical.

I really like the music in this video, who is the artist and name of the song?

[@suzieemery6360]

Hello your film is beautiful and thank you for sharing. Please can you tell me what pieces of music are played over the top? Also what is the guitar? Is it one of yours? Thanks

[@roadtobarcelona04]

I would be happy to own one of your guitars.❤

[@johnnybrgebasund5453]

Fantastic Handcrafts Work!👏👏👏👏 Now im curious how it sounds 😊👍

[@DieterSchneider]

Thank you! Sounds great, video coming soon :)

[@wadiemikhail7140]

How did you mount the thin strips of veneer inserts at center of two-halves of guitar back? For example, you opened a channel for the headstock veneer and added the veneer strips. Did you do the same for guitar back or applied the veneers at the time of joining the back 2-halves? Thank you.

[@jordibc4711]

After watching the video again I’m wondering if you are planning to make the cnc files available via your online shop. I would find it very useful!

[@DieterSchneider]

Yes, actually. But I don't know when, might take some time. They will wil be available at dietersguitars.com

[@alanortiz12]

hello, very nice guitar. Is there a video where we can listen to it?

[@DieterSchneider]

Thanks! not yet, but it's coming soon

[@Luthierperu]

Beautiful! what size is the blade on the mitter saw? Great technique to make the channels for a perfect fit when joining the sides with the neck

[@DieterSchneider]

Thanks, it's 10 inches

[@vigartmusic2737]

great video, thanks for posting it.... do you keep the top completely flat? and has the neck any backward angle or is it parallel to the top? thanks

[@DieterSchneider]

Thanks, Top is flat, but there is a slight neck angle

Hola, el nombre de la 1a cancion? es preciosa. gracias

[@akfisher7138]

great! Is there anything youmwould do differently if you repeated this? Thank you.

[@DieterSchneider]

Thanks, just started on the second build. I bought a bending iron to get out the spring back in the sides (and other tasks like bindings and rosette strips). Other than that I think most things will be done mostly the same way.

[@ismaelbernal1863]

Such a great work! Can you please tell me what kind of wood are you using for the bridge? Thanks!

[@DieterSchneider]

Thank You. It's walnut

[@lush462]

May I ask how you align (reference) the headstock to carve out with the CNC?

[@DieterSchneider]

I use the center line of the guitar, and a v-bit to position it perfect (jog the y-axis along the center line of the headstock to make sure it's correct)

[@lush462]

@@DieterSchneider Thank you for this explanation. Can I ask what CNC machine you have? Looking to buy one in Europe.

[@themidnightviking8234]

where would you have gotten the info to build a guitar? I'm planning to build one myself

[@earlymusicmaker]

Such lovely work! Did I spy a Lee-Valley mini block plane while you were making the rosette? How do you like it?

[@DieterSchneider]

Thanks! Yes, it's a wonderful tool, great for bracing and trimming bindings and other small things. Can highly recommend.

[@Elo_madu]

Please I noticed a design on your laptop, what app do you use to construct a plan for your guitar, if there's?

[@DieterSchneider]

Hi, the design on the laptop is the rosette design which I made in Photoshop, but the guitar plans are basically a Hauser 37

[@mapleash9586]

Genial!. ❤

[@marleengarza2023]

Wow!!

[@ChillMaster92]

Thats a beauty, nice! How many guitars did u build before this one as I saw u didnt originally started as a luthier but rahter general woodworking. How did u learn how to build guitars? I once did an internship at a local luthier and its the biggest regret of my life not having asked him if I could do my aprenticeship there. So now I sit behind my screen and whatch other people building guitars. I really enjoyed the music in the video. As I dont really know the pieces, would you mind sharing the names? Thanks in advance and best regards :)

[@DieterSchneider]

Thank you! I read a lot of books about guitar building, and I watched many videos here on YT about classical guitar building. Classical guitar fourms are also a great soure for learning. Plans are of course important (full scale plans). Becoming a luthier apprentice is a luxury, but many great luthiers were self taught. Robert Bouchet built his first guitar at the age of 48, and he is one of the most influential guitar makers of the twentieth century.

[@olewetdog6254]

What is the background music? I gotta learn that.

[@DieterSchneider]

Don't know, it's stock music I buy from epidemicsound.

[@vecinacucalacucaquelatiro6297]

Hello Dieter, ¿can you make brand new a classical guitar for myself please, and ship it out to Canada?.🤔😀

[@DieterSchneider]

Would love to, but unfortunately, I don't have time right now, but I'm building more guitars for sure.

I suggest you actually watch the video. the neck is not in one piece, both the head and heel are laminated. It's a Hauser 37 replica, which is a very traditional design.

Yeah, it's quite cold in winter, but I have built a small room now, which is easier to heat.
