Jimmy Foster building an Archtop - video content

[JohnIce]

I hope this isn't a repost, the videos were uploaded in 2006... anyway, as some of you know Jimmy Foster is one of the truly great 7-string jazz guitarists, but he's also a master luthier. In these videos he shows the building process of (unfortunately) a 6-string Archtop, but in the final video he also shows many of his 7-string models. The background music in all the videos are him playing a 7-string, btw

I just thought I'd share because of the awe-inspiring craftsmanship and the tasty 7-string playing. Enjoy!

Awesome! thanks for sharing

No problem! It really makes me want to go deeper into 7-string jazz fingerstyle, too bad I don't have one of these to play it on
