How great,. they look wonderful and sound super, keep up the work of love, people need arts of love more, another guitar builder who takes pride in his work
For those asking -- everything in the video you do in a week (I'm the guy in the video). Dale shapes the sides ahead of time and the fret slots are cut. You recurve the top and the back, bracing, shape the neck, etc. Best week I ever spent.
I'm the guy in the video. You build the entire guitar. Everything you see we did in the 7 days. Dale pre-shapes the sides and the fretboard is slotted. You do everything else.
I have had the pleasure of taking this class recently. It was a wonderful experience. Dale is a patient instructor and an incredibly talented luthier. Not only will you walk away with a greater understanding of how to build an archtop guitar of the highest quality but the week spent there will forever be a fond memory. Great people + great guitars = Great time. On top of all that you walk away with your own first class archtop. Highly recommended.
is this a carved top? or are they pressed? by the way really nice! and is it the guitar in the audio i hear?

wow,
i used to dream about building archtop by myself, maybe it's not too late.
But can really make one in 7 days?
If so I would seriously cosider taking the course.
