Personally, I cannot believe that anyone could find anything negative or critical to say about what you have just created. So impressive that you work with such ease, efficiency and still end up with a beautiful instrument most people couldn't dream of and then adding in the great riffs at the end. I am humbled and very impressed!! Cheers

[@frankheppner8990]

Absolutely awesome! You don't need those high tech tools to build a stunning guitar. This is handicraft at it's best. The guitar sounds as it looks: just beautiful!

[@juliusbigata6810]

That’s an awesome build!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I Love the tone! Cant wait to watch another build

[@aaspookyaa]

Your content respects the work more than any I have seen...BRAVO!

I have been binge watching your channel now for a couple of days and I can say that your channel is criminally underrated! Absolutely loving the builds and the covers you publish.

Excellent build, beautiful details for the completion of a perfect musical instrument ...

[@johnkunz2018]

I really enjoyed that. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.

[@gk6993]

Words are just not enough to express how one feels after watching one of your builds.

[@iainhenderson6882]

I'm absolutely fascinated with your guitar builds. I was awful at woodwork at school. I made a money box that you could reach back into the slot and take the money back out with your fist clenched 😂. I envy your gift.

[@stevencarter1095]

Absolutely beautiful

[@Spahr62]

Beautiful guitar! Amazing work and video! Thank you!

[@davy755]

Great job! You have given me skills envy.

[@Today_I_Want_To]

Very nice. Ingenious way for the headstock "binding"😁

[@JimmyV007]

Everybody’s comments say it all , I’m grateful you’ve shared your work , and process with the world. You definitely, ( obviously) , are gifted. I would give my left foot to have your abilities. I think so much flattery become cheesy, but I think all , or mostly all , of thee comments complimenting you are all earned , and well deserved. Just overall Tremendous video. Thanks for sharing.

[@t.o.e.vry1247]

I love monitor ports for inhaling the innards of the guitar. Great build congrats

[@youtubecommentor4480]

Very inspiring Gabi! I like the jig you made at 0:17. It is the best method I’ve seen to join the top and back plates without performing a complicated setup!

[@PHGuitars]

So beautiful!

[@jeffbruin5487]

You have so much skill..Great guitars!

[@mikefarwell460]

Gabriele, thank you so much for posting your guitar build videos, when Iwas in high school like a hundred years ago I attempted to make a electric...didnt go to good..50 years later you actually are giving the idea to build my first guitar.

[@GabiM3112]

Well, then just get started. You'll find much more inspiration and advice tahn 50 years agao, so this time it should be better.

[@tbsschiro1393]

Love it! Beautiful!

Great video and a beautiful looking instrument .... watched it from start to finish and thoroughly enjoyed it

That came out beautifully. I love the inlay on the top.

[@semmynomlene4128]

Love that's intro..Dust in the wind, More than words...

[@GabiM3112]

It's "Man in the mirror", not "More than words". ;-)

[@terryjohinke8065]

Wow. It sounds better than it looks. Great work Gabriele. Saw you do a restoration on a grandpops guitar but this was unbelievable in tone- probably due to the woods used. Nice playing with Brian May also. Cheers , Terry from Oz.

[@boogie11188]

Thank you so much for your inspirational videos Gabriele. I've watched and studied 100's of videos on guitar building, and the majority are built in hugely equipped expensive workshops, yet you manage to build superb guitars with mostly homemade jigs and limited amount of specialised luthier tools. I love your method for bending the sides with steam box and former. I have built a few solid bodied electric guitars in the past, but have not had the confidence to take on an acoustic build. As a recently retired carpenter, i have many woodworking skills and tools, so you have inspired me to start my first acoustic build. ordered my tone woods today, and intend to start making jigs and steam box tomorrow. I'm sure I will be following your videos at each stage of my build. Keep up the great work and please keep posting videos.

[@GabiM3112]

Hello there, if you have some woodworking skills, as you do, there shouldn't be anything keeping you from getting started. If you have questions and think I might be able to answer them, you can contact me on Instagram and we can chat. Good luck with your endeavour.

[@samwinstanley6820]

Wow this is great to watch, thank you!

[@gordonfrank]

Nice job. Appreciate your craftmanship.

Hi Gabriel, Thank you so much for the videos. I just finished my first guitar. You is one of the best for my reference. Wish you happiness and health.

Hi there. Great. Please, let us see some pictures/a video of your achievement.

Miss Réti you do great work.

Never stumbled upon your channel before, but gladly I'm here now. And you know I never saw any videos before but a person owning all those "Lustige Taschenbücher" simply has to be subscribed :) greeting from another German.

Fabulous video. Perfect length and balance of work vs results. Guitar is beautiful and sounds superb. I am really liking your channel. Cheers 🍺

[@GabiM3112]

Thank you very much, Andrrw. :-)

[@dickiebrewer1232]

Very good video. I am starting my build this weekend and it is a 12 string. I hope it turns out as good as yours. Nice harmonics in both the wood selection and tone.

[@ThePetejedi]

Beautiful sounds nice and mellow

[@canufathomit6728]

Ich liebe es, dir bei der Arbeit zuzusehen! Prima!

[@palcoscenico8198]

I really admire your way of working! Ciao

[@reekreeks]

Ms. Reti, thank you for your time and videos. I am a new aspiring Luthier and I find some of your methods different and educational they have helped me. All the best to you.

[@reekreeks]

With all due respect I have to say I was no fan of your neck to body joint but I have since come around. One could argue its better than mortise and tenon due to the tight wood on wood contact, more surface area to transmit sound throughout. M&T might even be 'overkill' so to speak. That joint with a light coat of hide glue and tight bolts isnt ever going to move. I may try it on my next build. Thank you.

[@Tristan014]

Beautiful work!

[@GabiM3112]

Thank you.

[@royyazzie6028]

Just beautiful mydear very unique there

[@zolar55]

Sounds great!

[@aliceverheij]

Fabelhaft! In February I'm starting my own small guitar workshop in Brittany, France. It's planned to be the start of building my own guitars after years of restoring old guitars. The idea is to make it manual as much as possible and replace electric tools by mechanic tools wherever I can but only where it makes sense. So I've been watching a lot of guitar building videos and yours is one of the best. Beautiful work, beautiful guitar and great sound! I like the design features a lot and it's great to see you're not cutting corners but make the instrument as best as possible and as beautiful as possible. A great inspiration for me! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.

[@GabiM3112]

Good luck with your business Alice. Keep us updated. Maybe some videos to share? You might consider a KZbin channel promoting your work. I'd be intersted to watch you work.

[@aliceverheij]

@@GabiM3112 I might very well do this. As I will be building my workshop from groundup a video might be a good thing. I'll think about it.

[@laikalaika960]

An instructive video that shows skill ,ingenuity and craftsmanship on a achievable level. Bravo. Thank you for your generous information and education. I will bypass guitar kits and purchase real woods and create uniqueness in whatever transpires. Love the collection of DVDs on display, not everyone requires a AAA+ workshop to create art.Thankyou...for being you and freely providing guidance. PS guitto ggp-02 any ggp-05 are a interesting, if dodgy, found success at low volumes. Thank you again, your tip are an inspiration to me.

[@bigmac51290]

It's amazing to see what someone can do with tools that can be easily purchased affordably at chain hardware stores, although the skills needed to compensate for the lack of state of the art machines can't exactly be bought.

Your guitar is amazing! I love it. You are great guitar builder. You are the most awesomest 👍💖💞😻😄💎You are the awesomest have a good time building we appreciate it!

Herzlichen Dank für das Einstellen dieses hochinteressanten Videos :o) Es ermöglicht einen tiefen Einblick in den echten handgemachten Gitarrenbau. Was für eine Wahnsinnsarbeit dahinter steckt, das wird einem erst klar, wenn man die Arbeitsschritte hier beobachten darf. Ich will nicht wissen, wieviele Stunden beim Bau dieser Gitarre drauf gegangen sind, aber die sind wahrscheinlich unbezahlbar ;o) Alles Liebe für Dich ...
