Product Information

Many people are frustrated by the mass-produced guitar, and long dream of something more unique. This practical book will help readers to achieve that dream, and inform and enlighten them along the way. Drawing on a range of ideas and techniques, it explains the process in a clear and logical way, thereby demystifying the task and making the guitar a joy to build and then to play. It covers tools, techniques, and selection of materials; how to avoid pitfalls and make faster progress; how to achieve a professional finish and set up the guitar. From making the initial templates to gluing the fingerboards, it provides careful instruction on the entire detailed process. AUTHOR: Nick Blishen has worked in the electronics industry for over twenty years, as a prototype wireman, test engineer and design draughtsman, before making a major career change and going back to college to study guitar making. He then set up his own workshop, making guitars and repairing instruments for local musicians and music shops. During this time, he was asked to teach a guitar-making evening class at London Metropolitan University, which was followed by teaching a day a week, until eventually he found himself course leader and senior lecturer for the BSc Musical Instruments degree course.
