Great video! Burnishing. Explains what everyone else doesnt! I get it now,Thank you

I would enjoy learning more about your method. Thank you for this video. Having spent time with piano tuning and time wrestling with guitar intonation on recording sessions, I find your take very interesting.

It’s a parrot vice. I use the same way

Stunningly peaceful

What about the 4th and 1st string ? Excelent video, hope you planing to post part 2.

that's called a masterclass

Nice camera angle....!!!!

Okay, I’m gonna have to take off my ass hat and put on my thinking cap for this video. Not for my 10:30 pm brain, will try at my 9:39 am brain. 🤓🤘🥳

Hi Sir.. Very good explanations!!! But we wait for second part 🙏

I attended a small concert Pierre Bensusan gave in Pacific Grove, Ca. in the early 1980s. It was there, for the first time, that I understood that music is a language, communication, not just entertainment. Bensusan is a brilliant player with much to say. Peter, that is a brilliant piece of music befitting another great player, composer. Thanks.

I am going to set aside my spool clamps and get some drier clamps...I'll try it on my latest project.. a cavaquinho. I do a bit of art work.. when asked how I get effects that are unique to my work I reply with: 30 plus years of experience/experimentation and some PFM. AKA ... Pure F'ing Magic. Beautiful, and just as important, "original" guitars. Excellent videos, Thanks.

Spectacular.

Captivating.

Great stuff Peter. I really enjoy your videos, thanks for the one on French Polishing. I feel like a fool for having tuned my guitar in what now seems to be a rather crude and inaccurate way. I did so thinking there was no practical way of getting it all correct. Thanks so much. Please could you do a follow up video, I enjoy the technical part which leads to a practical end. I also note Khasab's method.. is this a short cut to getting it right? I have been messing about with diatonic accordeons for a few years and submerged in the various way to tune those. It is amazing and fascinating how many styles of tuning there are. The only time I use a "just" tuning is on the simpler one row 10 button two base accordeons which are often called "Cajun" accordeons though invented by an Armenian Immigrant to Austria in 1829.

Just saw for the first time. While the commentry and info entailed, gave a mental picture of the pad construction and charging,, all I could really see was the image of the back of a guitar with some stuff happening in the top r/hand corner. I french polish, and have done so for 45yrs so no worries for me but not adequate for someone learning/lnterested in a serious "how to" instructional video

Tacheradaoem brother,,,

I love you work. I teach so much frrom you videos about French Polish. You have a New Subbscriber.

Hi Peter, will you be return in building more guitars in the future?

😳💬

Nice and I really like the atonal chords strummed at the end.

This is interesting and I appreciate the detail. Christopher Berg’s “Mastering Guitar Technique” (Mel Bay, mid-1990s) has a section where he discusses the compounding problems introduced by comparing 5th and 7th fret harmonics, which is still used by novices. I wonder if your part 2 proposes (will propose?) a solution similar to his.

For anyone interested, my New Year's resolution for 2021 is to make Part 2. I can hear you saying 'yeah right'. In the meantime I will gladly share the method via pdf with anyone who requests it by email. [email protected]

Great tones and playing. what are the kind of strings used and guitar guild specs please . thanks

I have been wondering if a very well applied french polish to a solid body guitar can be equal or better in resonance / sonic and tonal properties than the nitro cellulose which is highly praised? Please can you talk about this and go into detail. I am aware french polish is primarily used on acoustic intruments can you please go into detail. Please advise many thanks!

Hello, your video is great. But I have a guestion. Is a guitar playable at all if it is not intonated, if guitar does not have total intonation. For example, if we have optimal action and guitar is in tune in open string position, is that enough, or we need that also in 12th fret? Thanks a lot.

Watching so many different techniques . . . some with shortcuts . . . May I suggest from one luthier to 'dirty' up your alcohol with a little shellac. It will lessen the chance of pulling off a layer when you are 'stretching' and 'burnishing.'

13:16... yes sir... thank you. Your father and mother are proud. Fucking love it.

too complicated and unnecessary for people to tune their guitars. get a tuning fork E=329.6 tune the E strings and the E on the 2nd fret of the 4th string first then tune the other strings to those strings. (don't use harmonics on the 7th fret)

Where is part 2? :(

Fantastic video, any chance of seeing part 2 anytime soon?

beautiful!!! 💓

thank you

thank you

thank you

OLIVE OIL? NOPE. The entire point of the alcohol is to remove the oil and get the polish

Hey Peter, knew you in 70/90’s circa as a local at Beacons Beach, had no idea that you were a Luthier/Surfer, drop me a line have some questions about fillers for back and sides of walnut.. Thanks Bruce

Great video. Excellent work! Still... whenever I see this method of clasguit building, I think that something is missing... the neck...

maaaaan part 2????????????????????????????????????????

a few years later.... part 2?

It looks and sounds simply gorgeous! Such fantastic work you are doing, Peter!

Wow! Harps and bells!

"pretty alive" Yes, it IS amazing, isn't it, how such a great diversity of wildlife can not only exist in such an (relatively) arid environment, but indeed THRIVE therein?

2019 pls give us part 2

At 4:37 yes the diagram is misleading, it depicts (with allowance for freehand drawing) two notes that are out of phase but have the same frequency. Beating is the product of frequency differential, not phase differential. I think you use the wrong terminology.

Very impressed with that finish, wish I could get my guitar to you!!

superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Part 2?

Master!! How I level the two halves of the top? Because I can't make it 😣😥😣

thank you
