Constructing a Solid-Body Guitar: A Complete Technical Guide (Reference) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In search for information on my hobby, guitar construction, I have run into this book.Compaired to other literature on the subject, this book is very shallow when it comes to variations in construction techniques,explinations on wood selection for bodies and necks, and techniques infinishing.The book basically explains how to build one guitar, whichhappens to be a generic undersized version of a Les Paul.As for theconstruction of the neck and body, there is only one technique shown withno suggestions for verying the technique.In other words, if you are newto guitar construction and don't have tools like a table saw, bench topbelt sander, router, horizontal drill press, etc..., you will probablyconstruct a poorly sounding guitar.When the subject of wiring comes up,all you have is information on two wiring circuits, a single coil circuitand a double coil circuit.On a possitive note, the book does explain alittle about every aspect of guitar construction, it tells you one way how,but not why.
