Guitar Building & Repair Luthier Supplies Parts Book CD

Are you interested in designing, building or repairing guitars? We all know you can't just grab a piece of wood and start "It won't work" I have watched many people try and when their done they say "I wish I knew that before I started". Problem's like Basic Design, Body, Woods, Scale Length, Pickup Placement, Knob Placement, Cavity Routing, Tuning Stability, Finish, Parts, Weight, Playability and the proper tools for the Job! Did you ever see what taking the frets out of a neck wrong can do? Basically ruin the guitar.

I have checked other books and in them you get maybe one or two subjects that I cover for at least this much.The subjects are vast starting with "tools" and explaining all the different styles of production from building by hand with limited tools to mass production in large factories.This book also has chapters on designing electric, bass and acoustic guitars, detailed electronics, all about pickups, wiring, guitar design from the initial idea all the way to having it produced in a factory, general maintenance, factory repair methods, tools, jigs, templates, fretting, making necks, carving solid tops, detail parts info, custom finish, trouble shooting and more. Written in easy to understand every day English.
