A Master Class In Acoustic Guitar Making
Using Australian timbers
"Clear out your workshop and sharpen your tools!" Introducing a major new DVD guide for building your own Dreadnought-size guitar, taught by luthier Chris Wynne of Australia's Montsalvat School of Acoustic Guitar Making. It's an impressive 10-DVD set, but fear not--the comprehensive course is structured for first-time builders and woodworkers. Chris guides you through each step in the guitarmaking process, troubleshoots potential problems and explores current guitar wood science, all with the convenient navigation of DVD menus.
The course includes "The Luthiers Acoustic Guitar Making Handbook" (available only with the DVDs), an essential 60-page manual of detailed plans and specifications for each stage of construction. You'll get a handy bonus pocket conversion ruler, too!

I purchased the new Chris Wynne video [A Master Class In Acoustic Guitar Making]...Outstanding! This is by far the best guitar building video I have ever seen. Great production values, clear presentation, complete study materials, knowledgable instructor and excellent editing. I have recommended to all of my students that they purchase this DVD set to complete their luthier education. |
