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.
