Edgy_Gecko Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 As representing the new users of the form I'd like to thank everyone for their time and effort based on our passion of luthierie and the instrument that started it all. Out of all the help and assistance i've seached out on the forum I would also like a print resource to pick up some extra info that searching on this forum could not give me. Any recomendations on bu8ilding solid and hollow body guitars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmrentis Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 I believe he means a book or any printed resource. I personally don't know of any good ones, but I'm sure someone does. There are a great amount of people on this site that I know will have some recommendations. Hopefully that cleared things up for you.

DannoG Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 The book "Make Your Own Electric Guitar" by Melvin Hiscock is a very good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jera Woden Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 im not sure of the title but i saw a book at barnes and noble that was called "guitar making" it was a very good book covering alot of tings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 "Making an Archtop Guitar" by Robert Benedetto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickmangumby Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 "Guitarmaking Technology and Tradition", Cumpiano, is another one I have been recommended many times over. That's for acoustic steel & nylon string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Guitarmaking is a good book, but not for solidbodies. I'd definitely go for the Melvyn Hiscock book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeTee Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 I've got both Hiscock's "Make Your Own Electric Guitar" and Martin Koch's "Build Your Solid-Body Guitar" CDROM. I can very much recommend both of them. The Koch CDROM contains about 35 minutes of guitar-building videos, which I found very nice. It also includes the full text of his book "Building Electric Guitars". http://www.melvynhiscock.com http://www.buildyourguitar.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
