OVERALL OPINION

Amateur violin, I buy the DVD to encourage this kind of initiative because it is difficult to provide this information in french in this area.

The aim is primarily to guide a nophyte in the manufacture of an electric guitar so simple and try to fashion a opratoire Submitted excluding any heavy equipment such as "top", "size", dfonceuse stationary .... usually found in shops but the amateur luthiers not forcment on hand for lack of space and money recess.
Hand tools are also Reduces to a minimum.

As a bonus, we Xp Submitted Retailer his studio and each machine and their function.
One chapter is devoted to the main species used in the manufacture of guitars / electric bass and the influences of each on his and another chapter will guide you in making templates: clear, concise and indispensable!

The ralisations is well made: there is no "length" of squence Xp unnecessary and advises each step and always keep in mind that it is for amateurs .

Personally, I have a library on the violin provided enough (mainly English) and I admit having a soft spot for this DVD without prtention other than to accompany the guitar fans design their own instrument with a minimum of means.

The higher standard is the "service APRS sale": if something seems unclear or you you DSIR further a particular point, you can visit his site and he will be happy to assist you .

The price is 42.50 euro including shipping and well worth as you will save time and purchase of tools by forcment useful.

OVERALL OPINION

I completely agree with what Didi purple.

I would add that the explanations on the shaping of the handle (the handle) are particularly clear, and the proposed method is simple, easy to reproduce with only a rasp.
Besides Xavier Petit primarily uses hand tools or portable electric that are accessible to the amateur (price, usage).

This DVD covers the manufacture of a Strat-type guitar. This is both good because it is the type of violin as accessible to beginners. But it is also on this type of violin found most explanations, tutorials on the Internet or in the Anglo-Saxon ...
In fact I would have liked, preferred a DVD on the guitar for a Gibson Les Paul Standard: Archtop, set neck with a reversal, head bowed, binding key and body.
Or a guitar with a neck-which requires a reversal.
An idea for a 2nd DVD Mr. Petit?

The only drawback is the latest intervention by Xavier Petit in the DVD, just show us the manufacture of a guitar, but we explained that for the control (barely an octave, action) should go see a luthier!? So we did the hardest? <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
At least that is the subject of another DVD on the settings.

Very nice initiative. Congratulations and thank you Mr Xavier Petit!
