A valuable text for anyone studying guitar construction., April 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Classic Guitar Construction (Paperback)
Classic Guitar Construction takes you step by step through the construction of a fine classic guitar. The book contains complete plans for an instrument, although the information is scattered and the body is shown half scale. Sloane uses very few power tools, explaining how to make and use the special jigs and tools you will need. The author describes wood selection, choice of adhesives, and finishing methods. The relatively low price makes this an easy choice for anyone wanting to build classic guitars or study their construction.

A Classic Book that Started it All, November 29, 2011
This review is from: Classic Guitar Construction (Paperback)
This book is almost solely responsible for the guitar making boom that we are all in right now. I built my first guitar using the methods in this book in 1992 and have not stopped building since. Even though there are better books out there now that walk you through some more detail I still open this one out once in a while for a quick idea.
