Welcome to my classical guitar building channel. My name is Dieter Schneider, and I'm a hobby luthier with a passion for crafting high-end classical guitars. As a hobby luthier, I spend hours perfecting my craft, studying the art and science of guitar building, and experimenting with different materials and techniques to create instruments that are not only beautiful, but also sound amazing.

Some of the topics you can expect to learn about on this channel include:

Wood selection and preparation
Bracing patterns and techniques, including the 7-fan bracing method
Soundboard carving and shaping
Neck carving and shaping
Fretboard preparation and installation
Bridge installation and setup
Finishing techniques, such as French polishing

Tonewoods, bracing, soundboard, neck, fretboard, bridge, and French polishing are crucial in understanding the various components and techniques involved in crafting a high-quality classical guitar.
