Building a $36k Acoustic Guitar From Start to Finish (With Client Reaction)
This production in general was such a creative challenge; guitar, filming, editing, organising delivery, travelling there and giving it to its new home. I cannot explain how lucky I feel to share this all with you and to bring you in to such a special part of my job that you wouldn’t normally see.
I’m also so excited to present my client with this full record of his build, for him to enjoy. What a blast!
Lastly but not leastly, thank you all for watching.
If you watched right to the end, I hope you enjoyed the very cute personal story I dropped in for the last few seconds. I have a lot to thank this guitar for!
