Thank you for this very impressive tour ! I have been playing guitar semi - professionally since 1968 , and have had many books on guitar construction , but I had yet to see a video showing all the necessary procedures . This is most enjoyable , and again , thank you very much !!!

My Dad made me my first guitar when I was around 14 years old - he was a carpenter by trade although he had never built such a thing before. Watching this, I now realize, what incredible skills my Dad must have possessed and it's taken this video, 60 years later to realize it.

I am a woodworker and an amateur luthier for 8 years now. I can tell your father is a very skilled and a dedicated one. Instrument making require diffrent skill set from carpentry although the basic is the same. You said that it was his first time making guitar, a testimony of the know-how he have acquired. Sorry for bad English. Best regards

I was absolutely amazed how much manual labour still goes into this "mass produced" guitar. This is top notch work!

[@birchthebirch4593]

It's not , it's cheap and easy. I'm a luthier for one of my guitars you'll be waiting 3-6 months while I cut assemble balance and temper to almost perfection Most of these guitars are fit for beginners , for example no balancing and I didn't even see them filing the frets ! Literally slice a finger open !! I saw tons of split grains , unfinished edges, bad glue adherence , weak bridges, weak nuts , cheap and nasty metallurgy and so on and so on and so on . Top not work it certainly is not , but it's important cheap guitars exist as I would have never been able to learn how to play without one .

[@twokool4skool129]

It's really not that much. If you want to see a lot of manual labor, lookup videos of people handmaking the entire thing. It takes forever.

The main guitar that is being built here is the 50th Anniversary Crafter SungEum G-50th CE VVS, with vintage voicing, torrefied spruce & rosewood guitar. A truly beautiful guitar by a Korean builder that began in 1972 (that's why the 12th fret inlay). Although there is a fair amount of automation and CNC assist, I am really impressed with the individual craftsmanship that still goes into the manufacture. Of special note is the binding, inlays and the combination of machining and man that produced the joining of the neck. I own an Epiphone DR 500 mce that also has a similar neck construction and I can only hope that it was made and joined with such care and splendid craftsmanship.

[@practice4089]

@rxw5520 I had a handmade guitar shipped from spain to florida in an ill-fitting case inside one of those cardboard boxes you see at music stores with cheap guitars. that's it. I was shocked!

I'm certain that they skipped the step where used a fret press to fully seat the frets. You could see they stuck up in the middle, and the he was only seating them at the ends--except where the fretboard went over the body. Drove me crazy!

What I think is amazing is that someone had to figure out the exact lengths, for instance, of the sides, and their curvature, to be fastened end-to-end that way, and later have the front & back pieces glued to them, then they didn't even need to trim anything off. Also the routers and the CNC machines all had to be programmed. It's amazing how well they came out!

[@johnlratcliffe]

They had to be trimmed. The video didn't show it.

[@karlhendrikse]

I mean, you just make one once, and if it's 45mm too long, start with a piece of wood that's 45mm shorter next time. Don't really need to figure much out.

[@BoomerBends]

They are using some rather solid machinery and methods. The guitars are branded 'Sungeum' which means 'accomplishing the sound' and is a well known brand in the Korean market. Crafter is the name of the parent company. HyunKwon Park, founded the company. The first guitars were built in the basement of his home where he had just 20 square meters of space and a staff of 4.

[@dillboticus9563]

Im a luthier, and yeah, months go into each instrument. Machines can only do what you command, but a luthier is improvising and making little decisions the entire build. Each piece of wood is different, even from the same part of the same tree, so you have to develop intuition for how minor variances in stiffness, density, etc will affect the overall instrument... Or maybe im just trying to justify doing things the hard way for little pay

A good Guitar doesn’t use superglue or wood glue for frets. They use hide glue or something similar like they do to set the neck and the bridge plate. It can be heated allowing the parts to be removed.

@@Acemechanicalservices that’s not true. Many manufacturers use super glue, PRS comes to immediate mind, in their fret work.

[@DaveMorrisonMusic]

But this is how a beginner can get a precision-built instrument for a few hundred dollars that is perfectly playable. And that means that more aspiring players will stick with it, and mature into real guitarists who will eventually buy hand-made guitars from real luthiers. The guitar shown here is all solid woods and obviously built to last. If care was put into the bracing design and selection and curing of wood, these guitars should play well and sound good. The video maker could have taken ten more minutes to stretch the strings and get them in tune, though.

I bought a sigma guitar for $180 in the early 80s. Twenty years ago my son broke it by accidently sitting on it. I got it fixed and it played and sounded better after that than it did brand new. Any production guitar with a little TLC can last a long time and sound great.

I am happy that sound engineering principles can result in low cost instruments for people to play, but fine, engineering and workmanship is not the same as art. Most of what you see is designed to make the instrument appear cosmetically appealing as opposed to sonically excellent. A manufactured acoustic instrument will never sound as good as a handmade instrument because there’s not enough time taken with the elements that are important to making the guitar sound excellent.

[@ZRJZZZZZ]

The very end of the video reinforces the point. The player and the instrument are not in tune.

[@CaptTerrific]

@@ZRJZZZZZ To be fair, that's mostly because they JUST put on new strings. The tuning literally went from bad to worse within that 15 seconds of playing

[@nonegone7170]

Not really, i've seen plenty of mass produced guitars with richer tones than some old rare limited maker's guitars...

[@ParaBellum2024]

BS.

[@nonegone7170]

@@Marg-nt7qm Yet most things are manufactured in China. Quality control does exist there, you just have to pay for it, which most cheaper products and their companies won't do.

The efficiency of taking the clamps off the dried guitars and putting them directly onto newly glued guitars just blew my mind.

The tester needs to check his hearing the top E was flat.

I've built a few good acoustic guitars. This video was interesting, if a little depressing. None of these instruments seemed loved by the craftspeople making them: it was just a job. Call me superstitious but that's going to affect the tone.

[@flightlessboid]

Umm . . . I'll side with superstitious.

[@in.der.welt.sein.]

Yeah, that has nothing to do with the tone.

[@geoffreycarter3981]

I agree, of course I want my guitars made with Love, but these are engineered for production over being crafted for sonic ability and longevity. They want someone to pay $300 for it and go away haha

[@rgh97]

There is no soul in these guitars.

[@nonegone7170]

You do realize most factories that make guitars are exactly that for their employees? Jobs... Do you really think a Squier is made any differently, or more lovingly lmao
