A Guitar Makers Manual |
|
|
"Guitar Making: Tradition" and Technology was originally written because the authors saw the need for a comprehensive text on guitarmaking based upon traditional methods. Their idea was to create something that could be used either as a workshop manual for the student guitar builder or simply as a general reference on good guitarmaking technique. This manual covers the construction on both classical and steel string acoustic guitars in a step-by-step construction sequence and includes plenty of detailed diagrams and photographs. |

Guitar collector Scott Chinery was inspired by the D'Aquisto Centura Deluxe, a lightning blue archtop guitar built by Jimmy D'Aquisto. He challenged 22 of the world's finest guitar builders to create their own Blue Guitar. He sent each of them a bottle of Ultra Blue Penetrating Stain, and told them to make the archtop guitar of their dreams. The results, all featured in this book, are as beautiful as they are varied. Also included is a history of the archtop and anecdotes about guitar building by the featured luthiers. This book should be on every guitar lovers coffee table. |
