Jimmy Foster - Making an Archtop Guitar - Part 3

In this video, Jimmy finishes bending the sides, and then he starts on the binding. You'll see him tapping on the guitar top to make sure it in tune, and you'll also see him preparing the guitar body for the spray room, where he applies the finish. Then he takes the whole body to the buffer. In the background, Jimmy performs "My One and Only Love" on one of his seven string archtop guitars. See more at http://www.fosterguitars.com/

Love the dust mask on his head when he is spraying, that will save his lungs.

yeah, but good luthiers ply their wood a lot also because they find the tone to be sweeter or not changed, and they tune it also.
