Guitarmaking Tradition and Technology: A Complete Reference for the Design & Construction of the Steel-String Folk Guitar & the Classical Guitar Review
Hot!!!

William Cumpiano and Jonathan Natelson’s book on building an acoustic Steel String guitar and Classical guitars is by no means dated (unless you consider the time it was published).
Nowhere have I found information on building guitars as complete as in this fine publication.
Guitarmaking: Tradition and Technology is very well written and what was true then still holds true to this day!
Other books (and I have them all) come nowhere near the level of instruction that you will find in this book.
Some will show you how to do a particular task but the Cumpiano and Natelson book tells you why!
Please know that one can spend a small fortune on unnecessary tools and books setting up a shop.
Most tools for acoustic guitar building have remained the same in all these years so endless updates is unnecessary.
William Cumpiano has updates at his website for those who are interested.
When one of my students ask me what should be the first book to buy? I tell them they
can’t do any better in the fundemental knowledge gained from Guitarmaking: Tradition and Technology
