In this new book, Woodworker and professional luthier, Alex Willis, proves that with fundamental woodworking skills, a modest work space, and a few essential tools, even a beginner can make an instrument fit for the concert platform. Featuring full-size plans and detailed and illustrated instructions, Step-by-Step Guitar Making will guide any woodworker through the entire process of constructing a guitar -- from choosing materials to tuning up the soundboard. In addition to the full-size plans for the entire instrument, the book also includes detailed drawings of individual parts and complete instructions on how to place the frets accurately while adjusting the action for comfortable playing. The guitar featured is a steel-stringed cutaway orchestra model with 14 frets to the body, an ideal design for any finger style player. With the rise in popularity for custom-built instruments, Step-by-Step Guitar Making meets -- and surpasses -- the demand for a comprehensive “how-to” reference book.
