Guitar Making Books



This is a very good book as it covers not only classical guitars but also steel stringed guitars so if you can only afford one book then go for this one. It has lots of clear line drawing and plenty of black and white photographs. With most things covered in great detail.  approx 385 pages.

A modern approach to Classical guitar making. Loads of clear line drawings and colour photographs. A lovely book for anyone who is looking to build classical guitars. approx 310 pages.

 Based on a Steel Strung Acoustic Guitar this book has a set of full size plans at the back. Once again in colour with clear coloured line drawing this is a must for anyone building a steel stung guitar. approx 160 pages.

 A great book for anyone who is looking to build an electric guitar in colour with a set of full size plans. I like the very clear drawings. approx 144 pages.

 Chapters covered are Cleaning,installing strings,neck,set up,intonation,tuning head, electric guitar bridges, tremolos etc etc loads of good information. Only down side that it is in black and white photographs.  approx 320 pages.


 The electric guitar book that most people turn to. Black and white photographs and drawings.  approx 106 pages.



 Melvyn's latest book on acoustic guitars in colour. Nice chapter on a visit to the Martin factory. Also a chapter on Resonators. Even a chapter on using reclaimed materials. approx 280 pages.
