This definitive multi-volume set features Robert Benedetto, renowned jazz guitar craftsman. The classroom format begins with wood selection, tap-tuning and handcarving of the plates. F-holes and unique archtop bracings are examined. Traditional tools and fixtures are demonstrated alongside modern machinery. Side bending, binding, neck construction, inlaying, fretting, finishing and setup are detailed.

Extremely beneficial! Loved everything about it. I think I can now build one! Highly recommend this.
Great - practical and helpful just to watch Mr. Benedetto work!
Overall i would rate the Benedetto series very good. it was a pleasure to watch the master at work. as stated in the beginning of the series having the book by Benedetto along with the video is the complete course and complement each other. i think video number 3 and 4 should be combined into one because of their length.
thank you stan zurawski
This series is good, but I feel like there is something missing. I recommend renting it but I hope to review some more presentations before deciding the best to purchase for my library.
Bob is a master guitar maker and very good as a teacher. If you want to learn about archtop guitars (making them from scratch) this is the DVD collection.
