rob Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Hi just wondering where in the uk there is a good parts place and some where that sells proper tone woods. For a little while I've been going down my local moreys timber place and getting bits of ash and stuff while I got interseted in building guitars, and as for parts been takin' them off my older guitars. I've made one guitar and it was disatorus, Oh well I learned I guess . while I'm on the subject I can't find the book "how to build a guitar by melvyn hiscock" or somthing .Some one told me it's really good but I can't find it on amazon or nowt. Please help me! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gw_guitars Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 For the book by Hiscock: Try this: http://cgi.voxhumana.nl/ukvox_store/ukvox_store.cgi Click on: Guitar parts Click on: Books Click on: Books Guitar Building The home page is: www.voxhumana.nl Then you can choose dutch or english It is a dutch store but they sell worldwide. This book is in my opinion the best book written about building guitars Gerard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
