520 a| This book is a complete guide to the craft, with clear, detailed instructions covering all the "hows" and "whys". To give you a solid foundation in the fine art of handbuilding an instrument, the author shows you how to construct, step by step, one specific steel string guitar. He teaches a single, proven method--a method which he formulated during the construction of his own hundred-plus guitars. More than 150 photos and other illustrations go hand-in-hand with the text to detail minute stages of construction as well as to provide the needed overviews of the building process. A handy glossary and sources of supply listing are also included. You'll be guided through such general areas as wood and binding selection, the top and back, building the rosette, fitting the truss rod, leveling the frets, finishing the wood, shaping the neck, carving the bridge, and more. The end product of all this diligent work is something that neither the clear text nor the graphic photos can fully explain. Examine the edge binding and notice how even it is; inspect the guitar inside and note the cleanliness of the many glued joints; observe the smoothness and consistency of the highly polished finish. Then study the rosette, and find how even the mosaic is and how perfectly it fits into place; scan the instrument's back to see how the two matched panels meet neatly at the center seam; notice the care with which the tuning keys were installed. Then, your first cautious tuning, an initial delicate strum followed by a more measured one--and you'll know you've done it!;
