"A major work. There have been many attempts before, but this finally can be regarded as the bible of the craft..."
C.F. Martin IV
Chairman of the Board
C.F. Martin & Co.
"[A] Rolls Royce of construction guidebooks...in writing, thoroughness, organization and layout, bookmaking quality and aesthetic appeal of its own..."
American Library Association's
Booklist
"Cumpiano and Natelson have given us that 'rara avis' among texts--one that maintains scrupulous accuracy in spite of an astonishingly broad scope...Guitarmaking: Tradition and Technology is an unparalleled treasure and a true bargain..."
Michael Dresdner
Fine Woodworking
"A marvelous, encyclopedic work. An amazing sacrifice, a work of a lifetime. There is nothing else like it--the authors deserve the title of maestro."
Manuel Velazquez
Master Guitarmaker
"The [guitarmaking] community has long been starved for an authoritative and accurate step-by-step guide to the craft. This particular text is professional, thorough, unique...extraordinarily and beautifully done."
Dick Boak
President
Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans
