This video is thirteen years old. I have been watching UA-cam for about that long... Today this video was recommended to me; it has 67K views, 858 "Likes", and forty six comments. SO... WHERE THE HELL HAS IT BEEN... it's a real cracker, and if you are into guitars, either making, or playing, youv'e got to watch it. Thanks so much to Bob Thompson, and the rest of the crew. 👍

Bob is in incredible pool cue maker as well. Beautiful and well playing... my Thompson cue is really a treasure of mine. It's nice to get a glimpse into the man that made it... thank you for your hard work, Bob, and God bless

My friend, the awesome jesse smith

Just a beautiful video and the guitar music in the video is absolutely smoking hot and jaw dropping!

Wish he'd make me a gitar, I'd look after it like someone elses children

I hope someday to own one of your guitars.

Hi, I appreciate your video but I have one question..."are those Thompson guitars displayed/sold on line(Lazada) guaranteed/authentic?"

I did not want this video to end… I became an instant fan and now on the lookout for one of these guitars! What a genuine gentleman! Why you would want a CNC made instrument (same price point obviously) when you can have a handmade instrument from a cool cat like this is beyond me?…

That second one is definitely a bit deeper tone. However, iv been listening to several builds by Mr Thompson, and they're all so great 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸 I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite 👍🇺🇸

Them two younguns is purty good pickers !! Thank you 👍🇺🇸

Excellent 👍🇺🇸

Wish I could build a guitar

Hello sir

Kailan kaya ako magkakaroon ng ganyang guitara

Jesse is a great player, and he makes the Bob Thompson guitars sing. And now the 2021 champ at the Winfield KS International competition.

I bought one because of this video.

Great playing and choice of tunes.

I absolutely LOVE MINE!!! So well made with the best sound of all of my guitars!!!

Do you own any Martin's? I've had 4...D35, J40M, HD28 and presently own an auditorium size. At 73 now. Been playing since I was 10. Had to downsize . Dreadnoughts just became too large for me to carry around. But, I've had them all, from a Sears and Roebuck , Arias, Yamaha, Gibson..on and on. I found Martin to have the best sound, plus beauty . I did recently play a McPherson at our local music store...loved it. Played and sounded smooth....just not a Martin. I have watched and listened to many videos on the Thompson. Great players, including yourself, have picked them, but, all the guitars sound a little to bright...at least for me. I love hearing you pick. D.o you have any music out?

wow !!!!!!!

That #45 with Cuban Mahogany is the most beautiful guitar I have ever heard! Amazing instruments!

A great story. Love watching a craftman work in a well furnished shop. I've been around guitar players all my life (I play piano and accordion) in different bands and my mom played guitar and sang with her sisters since WWII. They are all gone now but i have her guitar. Best to you Bob.

If there was anything I’d like to see on your guitars is Hyde glue instead of modern glue. Hyde crystallizes and becomes apart of the wood. Even modern sounding Taylor has recently switched to Hyde glue.

If Robert Shafer says its good..Its really good●

Your passion makes me happy :-)

Hi Bobthompsonguitars! Thanks for such a nice video! I love watching vidoes of guitars being built. I was wondering why with that very dark wood back there is a sliver of very light colored wood. Is that an anomaly in the wood? I like how it looks. Also that wood for the back is very dark, black-like, see at 3:33. What kind of wood is that? It is so great that when you build a guitar it is not only the structure or looks itself, but it's the magic of creating a sonic construction, something that will create beautiful sounds for generations to come. What would the sound be like if you made a guitar and all the back of it was ebony? Would that project the sound even better than rosewood because it is so hard? Thanks for making the world a better place through your creations!

Powerful sounding guitars!!!

I live in central Oregon. This area is becoming quite a musical instrument manufacturing Mecca! Besides Thompson Guitars, there is also Breedlove Guitars, and Wildwood Banjos. All make very fine instruments.

Can I please get one before I die

So happy I found this video... I bought my HD28 in ‘78. You should have many happy customers using that as a model, congrats! 👍

His comment at the end of the video personifies his striving for excellence and the amazing quality of the Thompson guitar! I would trade my two Yamahas and my Fender and I may even throw in my Mexican Strat for one of them.....

Who are those little pickers at the end? Those guys killed it!

Looks like a real young Clarence White

I'll tell ya true, I've been playing guitar for 70 years (I'm 82) when those boys cut down on "Little Rock Gettaway" it made tearscome in my eyes. Now I'm relegated to playing acoustic bass guitar in our lil Bg parlor band. I own a Martin and a Taylor and always thot my banjo playing 1968 D35 was the holy grail. Now I thing Bob Thompson and Preston THompson make the best of the best guitars

He is great builder me and Johnny went to his house once great person and great builder he has some the best plays them I always enjoyed playin his guitars when I seen him I wish I still was playin

This clip sold me on Bob's guitars and I now have 2, a rosewood DN and a rosewood OM.

Wonderful sounding guitars!

he also has a side business in raising the Everly Brothers from the dead

the way you made guitar with love and musical approach.. I'm sure I'm gonna buy your guitar if only I live near of your place..

Cuanto daría por tener una de esas guitarras aquí en argentina y poder comprarla!

Cool video.

I met jesse at Cabin Fever guitar workshop and he let me play his Bob Thompson guitar. It is the best playing guitar I ever had in my hands and jesse is an awesome player and a great guy. I hope we meet again and pick some. I would love that!

Is this the same Thompson guitars that Jake Workman plays?

When Bob tapped on it, that guitar sounded almost like a kettle drum! I gotta play one of these eventually.

Met Jesse this past week, talked and picked a bit on Thompsons. Jesse is great guy and player; excellent spokesman for these guitars. I haven't bought a Thompson (yet)

Those two fools at the end killed that

Good instrument, great player!

Love the sound of that blackwood guitar! Wow!!! I would love to own one.

#24 in 1978 ...he must be pusHing build#500 plus by now. Any comments or anyone know what number he is at ?
