..."congratulations on producing a excellent DVD series. From the start I warmed to your relaxed voice and method of putting over the information in a way that made me think you were talking to me direct/personally. ie the language was not forced or 'rehearsed".(you may have rehearsed it but it came over brilliantly!!)"

-Mick Johnson, Reading, Berkshire UK

..."I absolutely love the DVD series. Thank you so much for the time and effort. I'm on my 3rd watching."

-Steve Ellis, Manteca, CA

"I would like to thank you for making such a detailed and painstaking set of videos for classical guitar building. They have broaden my building skills immensely and woodworking in general. I may never sell one of my guitars, but I enjoyed reading your notes in the manual about how to sell your work. I'm sure I would have tried all of those methods and felt like a failure".

-Jim Barker, Tucson, AZ

"Your DVD set is very interesting and informative, thank you for making it. My husband has made 3 guitars so far as a hobby and as he is disabled finds the use of power tools invaluable".

-Anne McCarten, Hampshire, England UK

"Your DVDs are great. I've watch them all three times now and each time something new becomes clear"..

-Carlo Rodrigo, Oak Park, IL

"Create an expansive paradigm, instead of making a good guitar , make a great classical guitar by following the 10 disc DVD series by master luthier John Bogdanovich. In each disc john takes you through the tougher parts of guitar making patiently explaining the finer points of classical guitar making through the use of jigs, fixtures, tools, and wood. This will elevate your building to the next level. It is all the little details in guitar making that separate the "good" guitar from the truly outstanding ones that you and your clients would love to play. Hats off to Mr. Bogdanovich for an excellent 10 disc DVD series sure to please the most discriminate luthier or connoisseur of classical guitars".

Thanks, sincerely, Ernie www.ateliertomi.com

... "All I can say is WOW! You're a natural in front of the camera and the production and camera work are the best I've seen in any guitar or woodworking dvd. The finished guitar sounds great and your explanations on what to strive for sonically in the instrument were very helpful. Good job!"

-Steven Hulten, Gilroy, CA

..."I just wanted to tell you how wonderful your new DVD set is. You can really see that you put your heart and soul into this fine DVD series. In addition, your craftsmanship, artistry and excellent instruction are easily evident. I now understand why it took a while. All I can say is that the wait, was well worth it for me. If they gave Oscars for videos like this, you'd win...hands down! It's exactly what I needed.

I have already built six classical guitars by myself and want to bring it up a notch, but I know that by applying your instruction from this DVD set, I'll be able to make a major step change increase in the quality and sound of my guitars. Really, it's as if you've been reading my mind on the questions I've been asking myself while working through my builds over the last year and now I have an answer for most of them. I feel I can approach things with more of an end goal in mind instead of just completing another guitar.

I watched disc 10 first because I wanted to see and hear the finished product, fantastic. The detailed information you gave on making the nut, saddle and how to perform a proper set up was filled with helpful hints. For example, using a piece of wood and taping the nut to it with double stick tape. That is really useful and very simple.

I think you did an excellent job of editing and as you mentioned, not including every stroke of the plane, chisel, etc. What you did include though was definitely all the necessary aspects and it really does keep the lessons moving. The plans are very neat and very well done. Truly, you did a wonderful job!

Again, thank you so much for sharing your art and skill through this DVD set and being so thorough and clear so that an aspiring luthier like myself can reach my goal of one day making that elusive perfect guitar."

-Rolando Padron, Victoria, TX

"...."Let me congratulate with this huge amount of work you did so far. I don't think there is something like it around. You have taken guitar tuition few steps ahead. I think you greatly deserve the success that will follow to this DVD course.

... thanks so much for talking so slowly. Many aspiring guitar makers are not english native speaker and I was very glad I could understand almost everything of what you said.

I wish you good luck and much success in your life."

-Enrico Sciaffella, Rome, Italy

... "Very impressed with your DVD, outstanding presentation, great camera angles, lots of helpful helpful tips and advice. I have many books on guitar building but this is the only DVD I'll ever need on my guitar building journey."
