Guitar Building Basics Acoustic Assembly at Home

Author: Beau Pacheco

Acoustic guitars make the perfect woodworking project. Whether you’re a professional musician or simply an interested wood worker, building a guitar from scratch is a very satisfying project.
Guitar Building Basics presents five, start-to-finish assembly sequences. Each sequence uses high quality color photography to illustrate every step of the process, from gluing on the top and bottom of the guitar, to installing the strings and sanding the frets for a perfect set up.
The assemblies include everything from a fairly simple renaissance guitar kit, to a full dreadnaught guitar built from scratch in a professional shop. With the help of this new Guitar-Building book, nearly any amateur wood worker can buy a guitar kit and assemble the whole thing at home using only basic woodworking tools. The key is patience, and a good set of instructions - provided by this new book with over 500 color images spread across 144 pages.
A talented musician with a guitar collection of his own, Beau Allen Pacheco is the perfect author for this book. Beau documents all the steps and the skills needed to do a quality job, then moves on to discuss the different types of wood, how to choose the best strings, and how to set up the neck.
Whether you’re a guitar player looking to buy a quality instrument for a bargain price, or a craftsman looking for that next project, Guitar Building Basics will help you find the best kit and assemble that kit into a finished guitar you will be proud of for the rest of your life.
