A modern approach to traditional design

Classical Guitar Making

By John Bogdanovich
A comprehensive, meticulously photographed and authoritatively written guide for the builder who has basic woodworking skills and a minimally equipped shop. In over 300 pages, with over 600 excellent color photos and drawings, an accomplished luthier/guitarist guides you through the construction of a fan-braced nylon-string concert guitar with Spanish heel block. This is one of the most visually impressive lutherie books we've seen, covering every step from wood selection to final setup. 310 pages, hardcover.

Sold individually or SAVE $10.00 when you purchase these templates as a complete set for classical guitar (Classical Guitar Plans, Classical Guitar Templates, Classical Guitar Making book).
