Classical Guitar Construction

This book is actually on $23.95 and still in print. Nicholas Clarke The Bold Strummer Ltd

A valuable text for anyone studying guitar construction.

Classic Guitar Construction takes you step by step through the construction of a fine classic guitar. The book contains complete plans for an instrument, although the information is scattered and the body is shown half scale. Sloane uses very few power tools, explaining how to make and use the special jigs and tools you will need. The author describes wood selection, choice of adhesives, and finishing methods. The relatively low price makes this an easy choice for anyone wanting to build classic guitars or study their construction.
