## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If You Want to Build, Get this Book.
*by A***R on February 13, 2025*

Covers all aspects on guitar building with very helpful pictures all along the way. Clear instructions. Though this book is several years old, guitar making is still the same.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ couldn't be happier
*by L***L on October 19, 2024*

book was in very good shape

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BRIEFLY - I like this book so well, I've bought copies for my friends. Both of them.
*by G***S on January 12, 2014*

Full Disclosure: I'm not a real luthier as yet - I've only built three guitars. Guitar Player magazine like this book, and I do, as well. This is not promotional content. It is ALL MY personal opinion. I bought the book. I like the book. Deal with it.One could go into the shop with this book in hand and a perseverant attitude, follow it explicitly, and exit the shop with a very nice guitar. It is detailed, step-by-step, with lots of photographs and illustrations. I would characterize it as having a prescriptive do A - then B - then C approach.By way of contrast, Siminoff [The Luthier's Handbook...], and Forbes [Acoustic Guitar Making...] as well, are NOT prescriptive, do-it-this-way now-you-have-a-guitar books on how to build a specific guitar. If you want to build a guitar, THIS is a great book. To build a GREAT guitar, you may need the latter two books, and others, as well, as a great deal more detail of "why" a specific approach might be appropriate can be very useful.Please note that this is not intended as a criticism of Natelson's book, which is excellent for the audience described.
