This must be the best job in the world. My endless admiration and respect for people who are able to do things like that.

[@HorrorBigGameRR]

If you didn't know this guy is my guitar teacher.

[@MonsPubis7]

@@HorrorBigGameRR Im pretty sure we all knew David J. Pace was the teacher for the random youtube user with the username HorrorBigGameRR. I don't know how that kind of information could ever slip past anyone

[@gliasmarinho]

I can see in your hands how much you love what you do, incredible.

[@bruh_man1411]

This is art. Its beautiful in every way. The care and love for the instrument. How his hands move with the lines and contures. This is craftsmanship.

[@bahceninrengi]

I'm a rookie classical guitarist. I love my guitar, the video is a work of art that is handcrafted with great patience and great patience.

[@chrisfleming2400]

Outstanding! A functional masterpiece and true work of art. You are an amazing Luthier!

[@MrBassflute]

Absolutely stunning. I don’t know how you guys do it. One little slip… I can’t imagine. You are worth every penny you charge. Thank you for this.

[@ericrose3877]

As a fan of yours for many years, I can say it is always a truly uplifting experience to watch these videos of yours, David. I shall purchase one soon.

[@timothywatson9617]

I have built guitars all my life I'm 56 now good see someone who knows what their doing good job dude

[@Falaxuper]

what is your price for a solid cedar-top classical?

[@floydchen7523]

One can feel the love that goes into a masterpiece like this.

[@pkicng210]

Wow an craftsman, an artist for the artist musician . The movements of this craftsman is just awe inspiring

[@trevorowen6564]

All the precision of a surgeon … a perfect combination of art and science. It was a privilege to be able to watch the guitar's construction. Wonderful - only wish I could afford one!

[@singkitboi7325]

One of the gorgeous guitars ever seen

[@jondellar]

Wonderful video. Perfect pacing, just natural sounds and so very engrossing. When the chisel was laid confidently the fingerboard, it was almost edge-of-the-seat! Lovely tone to a beautifully-made instrument.

[@GediSpock]

Beautiful job. Such a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work.

[@fw1421]

Amazing craftsmanship! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@joelaplaca1546]

What a sublime video....truly a work of art. Thank you!

[@christianpicaut2518]

Magnifique travail de luthier, un vrai bijou cette guitare , superbe vidéo merci

[@malcolmtaylor1821]

A thing of absolute crafted beauty.....so relaxing to watch

[@dewindoethdwl2798]

A jewel made of wood. Shaping the neck looked so brutal to start with, I was thinking what a slip would do to the body! The commitment of real craftsmanship. Wonderful ❤️

[@manofbeard]

Not just a beautiful instrument but a work of art. Bravo.

[@osmartakashi]

I have no words to express my admiration to this brilliant work!

[@markgrevatt4867]

Wow what a beautiful work of art. Absolutely stunning workmanship.

[@ningthailungkamei4792]

I don't want the video to end, absolutely amazing craft and guitar.

[@BHiemisch]

I am always deeply moved when I see how a master instrument maker with dedication and craftsmanship creates such a perfect instrument. Happy 2nd Advent and respectful greetings from Germany 🕯🕯🎄🙋‍♂️

[@wiklundk]

I’m amazed at all the delicate work. Beautiful piece!

[@lucas_yoga]

Thanks for share this amazing video... I can see so much love in this guitar, every detail is a manifestation of how much you love what you do... God's working by your hands! It's a great job, and a pleasure to watch.

[@pedrobeck7136]

Thanks for showing us the construction of a masterpiece!

[@Thxgator]

What a piece of art this guitar is. Amazing job. To think that a few minutes ago I was contemplating making my own guitar...

[@andreambuter6806]

You totally should! There's a company called Luthiers Mercantile International (their website is lmii(.com)) and you can order custom kits from them and you choose different guitar types, your own wood from their selection and if you like you can have them pre-prepare parts, like bending the sides, slotting and radiusing the fretboard, gluing and sanding the top and back panels, etc. And they have instructional videos on how to do it too! Give it a shot mate

[@PJBonoVox]

This shouldn't stop you, treat it as a motivator!

[@davidmolloy126]

Magnificent in every way. Thank you very much.

[@OscarWawrick]

This is amazing! One of the most beautiful i've ever seen.

[@ryanhingorani4019]

OKay,, now i understand why a good handcrafted guitar is so expensive

[@graytonw5238]

Agreed. The attention to detail and pure artistry are wonderful to watch. You can spend $100 on a classical guitar and you get what you get, but this is on a whole different level. The materials and workmanship here are what make guitars like this worth the money, something you can treasure your whole life.

[@bsharporbflat8378]

Because you need to be a carpenter, a cabinet maker, a sculptor and preferably a guitarist.

[@RapperGuardi]

What this video doesn't tell you is: -High-end guitars require high-end materials like rare and valuable wood (top spruce, redwood, rosewood (brazilian rosewood is banned from exploit due to it's so rare), maple, cedar, côcbolo, ebony, Hawaiian Koa...) -How the craftman sands the top bracing, which determines the sound quality. No matter how good the wood is but crappy bracing = crappy sound. So this is the kind of real talent-work. The fact is some Luthiers only make under 3 guitars a year because it takes so much time to make top-end one.

[@Za7a7aZ]

@@graytonw5238 Yes, but still do nt understand the difference between a 3000 dollar handmade guitar and a 18.000 dollar handmade guitar. You can use wood that is 25 years old but is still not and excuse for the 15.000 dollar difference.

Masterpiece !!! Thank you Mister Pace to use the wood in a Very good way. Your job is the best on Earth.

[@lexm9416]

What a beautiful guitar, I’ve never enjoyed watching one made so much - I even found myself leaning forward to blow the dust off the neck I was so involved. 😀

[@Bongz.14]

Nice one 😂😂

[@tertia0011]

As student of classic guitar it is pleasure & instructive to see video of manufacture of classic guitar. Thank you.

I loved my guitar even more after watching this

[@alexmorales4449]

Wow.... just wow. Beautiful hand crafted guitar

[@TeleCaster66]

Having a high quality hand made non-production guitar is a beautiful thing. I have one made by a master builder and I never grow tired of playing that guitar. It's an investment that you will he glad you made.

[@steveb9325]

Great! Who's the luthier? Acoustic? Classical? Tone woods? Would love to hear it and see it sometime on YT!

[@KingLoopie1]

There's a man who found his calling! Beautiful masterpiece!

[@bethsogge]

Brava Kim! Thanks for letting me know about this video. I knew violins were made with care, precision, and love but had no idea this was also true for fine guitars. :-)

Better than anything you can watch on TV. I could have watched a two hour movie of it. I am now thoroughly discouraged from ever becoming an even pedestrian luthier

The guitar performance is superb, but, the tonality and clarity of the instrument really shines! No sour overtones, no buzzing, no off vibrations to be heard! I want one!

Now, that is craftmanship!! Beautifyl job!!!

Great job!! And thanks to you now I know the piece of music An Malvina and I'm learning to play it. :) Thanks again!!

Wonderfully crafted guitar, I wish I had one... God almighty be gracious to me..

[@TheCaoimhin2]

It was positively therapeutic to watch you work and listen to Kim play. I could have stayed for hours. That is truly a beautiful sounding and looking piece that you have built. I was amazed at the amount of card scraping that you do. Would you consider making a video of how you sharpen your scraper? Clearly you use it so much that you must be a true expert on keeping it honed. Recently I've been struggling with sharpening this useful device. Beautiful work.

[@mikeheneghan7351]

Absolutely Fantastic. Thankyou for your video and your expertise. Truly an expert craftsman. From an old woodworker and woodturner. Trying to get back into the Classical guitar at age 78 with a Raimundo 128. Regards, Mike

Love this Video, Hats off to you David, the Guitar is Magical link between Humans and Nature, I believe, this Model sounds sublime, great workmanship in construction, the piece played An Malvina is beautifully performed too.
