Handmade Guitar: Episode 3

In this third episode of DIY’s Hand Made Music focusing on hand-built guitars, host Jeff Wilson drops in on George Gruhn (of the world famous Gruhn Guitars in Nashville) to learn more about the quality of vintage guitars. Armed with information provided by Gruhn, DIY demonstrates the functional and aesthetic importance of binding. Vintage guitars were bound with distinctive herringbone strips that framed a guitar’s perimeter. Lynn Dudenbostel demonstrates how he adds this decorative element to his guitars. With binding complete the Dudenbostel guitar body is complete, and after a quick sound test Lynn turns his attention to the guitar neck. Lynn shows viewers how to slowly carve away wood from a block of mahogany until a perfectly shaped neck remains. He then attaches an inlayed fingerboard and prepares the guitar for finish. Host Jeff Wilson closes the show with more music from Kentucky Thunder. It’s a session that delivers a "sneak peak" at the completed Dudenbostel Guitar.
