Guitar Making

[aldel]

Yaron Naor from Israel has sent me an email asking for any info on guitar making.
He is interested in anything; books, video, hints, tips or training courses which could be anywhere in Europe.
I assume that is for acoustic guitar so can anyone help?

Many thanks, Aldel

Good for him

I really wanted to go on this course when I was younger, but due to family commitments I never got there....

Try Craft Supplies who can supply the specially selected "sound wood" as kits I think and who also run courses occasionally for acoustic and electric guitar making http://www.craft-supplies.co.uk/cgi-bin ... i?event=19

Cheers, Paul.

Books: Guitar making,Tradition and Technology by Cumpiano & Natelson (assuming acoustic) - includes both steel strung and classical, very good and cheap to buy as well. Making master Guitars by Roy Courtnall - covers just the classical guitar, expensive but also a very good book.
MIMF.COM - a really good online resource for guitar and other instrument making.
Videos: Forget them.
Courses: Do a search in the archives, it's been covered recently on this forum.
Hope this helps.
