that guitar/bass making book, is short but sweet, in my oppinion its not bery technicall or descriptive, but it has lots of great pictures, that show the procces well, unlike hiscocks book its more of a pictorial of building a solid body guitar and bass, but as i said, verry short on the details, and detailed expleanation of every stage in building, and its a pretty short book
bottom line, if you have the choice get hiscocks book.
on the other hand i just borrowed the book
Electric guitars - The illustrated encyclopedia from the library, pretty good book with pictures and dexcriptions of TONS of different guitars (only electric+ some archtops), in other words, great overall eletric guitar book. and i also have qa hold on a spanish guitar making book (making classical guitars), and will tell the title and my review once i get it.
