Making your own guitar is an ambitious and fascinating project, and Roy Courtnall has made it accessible. In this book, which has become the international reference on the subject, he brings together a wealth of valuable information on the Spanish method. Antonio de Torres, Hermann Hauser, Ignacio Fleta and José Romanillos... the book retraces the life and work of nine great guitar masters and provides performance plans for one of their finest instruments. After a brief overview of the tools and materials needed for any guitar-making job, the making of a classical guitar is approached step by step. Each stage is presented with great clarity, so that even an amateur can make a superb instrument.
This book, which is essential for both luthiers and guitar enthusiasts, is a unique document on the techniques used since Antonio de Torres defined the main characteristics in the 1850s.
