Making an Archtop Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As an archtop owner and player for nearly thirty years, I would call this book a must read for anyone who is interested in purchasing a vintage archtop or buying a new one. Benedetto leads the reader into a deepappreciation of the painstaking detail that goes into The Making of anArchtop. He describes the level of attention that should be evident on eachcomponent of the guitar, and how it effects the player (and the price) inthe end. The significance of learning the process of material selection,construction sequencing and design considerations might well lead thereader towards a custom made instrument. This book is a credit to all theindependent luthiers out there whose trade is no longer a secret.
