The alternative - building your own fine guitar - is not as difficult as you might imagine, given some skill, patience, and the expert guidance of a master luthier. Every step of construction is fully covered, from choice, selection, and preparation of woods, to consideration of size, bracing, and tonal qualities. Each step of the building sequence is clearly photographed in color, with variations to the standard design shown to enable you to personalize your instrument as you make it. Briston, England-based Jonathan Kinkead has been building guitars for nearly 30 years. His craft is born out of experience and intuition rather than a strict following of technical detail. The resulting beauty of form and distinctive tone have earned him his reputation as one of the world's most respected independent luthiers. 833016 1 2 2004 Build Your Own Acoustic Guitar: Complete Instructions and Full-Size Plans total:3|5:0|4:1|3:2|2:0|1:0| 3 10 4 1 4 0 false false Fri Feb 15 08:26:15 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 15 08:27:05 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Mon Nov 09 19:36:48 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 19:36:48 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Jan 16 09:49:36 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 09:49:36 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Mar 06 08:40:06 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 06 08:40:06 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=847501
