ACOUSTIC GUITAR - AN HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE COMPOSITION, CONSTRUCTION, AND EVOLUTION OF ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST BELOVED INSTRUMENTS by Frank Ford, Michael Simmons, Richard Johnston & Teja Gerken: Foreword by C.F. Martin IV. How do you tell the difference between a great and not-so-great guitar? How much of the sound is determined by the woods and how much by building style? How much money do you have to spend to get a guitar that matches your style and skill level? This book seeks to answer these questions by helping you understand how guitar designs differ, how they sound and even what their origins are. Nearly every type of acoustic guitar is discussed with an emphasis on steel-string flattops, classical and archtop guitars. Each chapter covers an individual part of the instrument's construction. Includes a guide to care and maintenance, a section on common repairs, and a 16 page color section with historically significant instruments. 376 pp.
