This book contains everything I wish I knew when I started making acoustic guitars over fifteen years ago. It is not an ABC book, but a companion that teaches many of the things that the other books leave out.

The methods described revolve around doing more with less, and getting more out of the tools already in the shop. For the thrifty guitar maker who would rather build something than buy it, this book is the right choice. Over 500 pages of text, with more than 1600...

Kids need to learn colors, numbers, animals, and a long list of other things. After teaching the important...

This book was created because of the very large customer response from the "Tips and Tricks" section in my first book, Acoustic Guitar Making: How to Make Tools, Templtes, and Jigs, and it is a collection of 1,001 acoustic guitar making tips. Some of the tips that were scattered around the first book have been revisited, and many new tips have been introduced, all with the goal of giving the beginning guitar maker a good head start. If you have made a few guitars already, you most likely know most of these concepts, but that is the point. Having more information at the beginning will help new...
