Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisHailed by Guitar Player magazine as "perhaps the finest book on guitars ever produced," and by Booklist as "a Rolls Royce of construction guidebooks," this impressive volume is the first book of its kind to describe in depth how both steel-string and classical guitars are actually designed and built. Over 450 photographs, drawings, and diagrams reveal in exquisite detail the hows, whys, and how-to's of the traditional craft of guitarmaking, all accompanied by fascinating historical and technical notes. A comprehensive bibliography; a list of tools, materials, and supply sources; and a full index complete this uniquely authoritative reference -- and essential acquisition -- for guitar and craft enthusiasts, woodworkers, and students of instrument making everywhere.

    The Bible of guitar construction

    A very comprehensive book that explains in excellent detail the steps required to construct two types of acoustic guitars. It is well written and will be useful as a reference book for both the novice and the experienced luthier. A great deal of detail is devoted to each stage of the build from wood selection, tools, assembly methods and finishing. Alas, the pictures are all black and white. It would be a delight if the book was updated with color pics.

    Great addition to my library.

    I really enjoyed how this book gets me in the right mindset. I love my guitars and currently own 8 different guitars. I wanted to learn more about the construction and this is a great way to start.

    Great book

    Very nice work, clear illustrations and pictures, it has this nice vintage feel and easy to follow, I haven’t actually started building but just from paging it it looks promising!
