🎸 Making a Concert Guitar from Scratch | Handmade in Slovakia

Описание: 🎸 Watch the complete process of building a concert classical guitar — from raw wood to the final performance.
As a professional guitarist and teacher, I find immense joy in creating instruments by hand.
This video shows the full journey of crafting a classical guitar in my workshop in Slovakia — using only traditional methods, hand tools, and simple jigs.

🪵 About the instrument:
• Spruce top
• Indian rosewood back and sides
• Cedar neck
• Ebony fingerboard

🙏 Special thanks to my mentors and friends who continue to inspire me:
Mark Usherovich, Tobias Braun, Sergey Rusakov, Max Cuker, Anton Baranov, Maurizio Franz, and Karol Samuelčík.
