Great Video! I wished it had been a little longer. The video was supposed to come with some printed material but it wasn't included with the DVD.
Though production quality is minimal, I had MUCH better results after watching this video. A couple of things begged for more illustration / explanation, but for the most part quite illuminating.
I've been struggling with french polishing for about 6 months and this cleared up some mysteries. I wish I would have seen this first.
I learned a lot from this dvd. The demonstrations helped a lot.
You definately need to rent this video. This guy cover every aspect of French polishing and give you everything you need to be successful at it. You'll also enjoy listening to him play also. GREAT VIDEO. I give it A+++++
This is a great treatment of the subject of French polishing of guitars. It covers the complete process in an easy-to-understand way. I highly recommend it for those who have instruments they want to finish in this age-old manner.
Good overview and put together by someone who understands instruction. I found, however, that when I went to give it a try that there were lots of little nuances that had not been mentioned - but that's to be expected.
