Acoustic guitars make the perfect wood-working project. Whether you’re a professional musician or simply an interested wood worker, building a guitar from scratch is a very satisfying project. Guitar Building Basics presents five, start-to-finish assembly sequences. The assemblies range in complexity from a fairly simple renaissance guitar kit, to a full dreadnaught guitar built from scratch in a professional guitar shop. A talented musician with a guitar collection of his own, Beau Allen Pacheco is the perfect author for this book. Beau documents all the steps and the skills needed to do a quality job. Whether you’re a guitar player looking to buy a quality instrument for a bargain price, or a craftsman looking for that next project, Guitar Building Basics will help you find the best kit and assemble that kit into a finished guitar you will be proud of for the rest of your life.. |
When it comes to guitars and publishing, Beau Allen Pacheco knows the business. He started out as a columnist with the prestigious Rocky Mountain News, Denver’s best read daily newspaper, and then gravitated to magazines where he was editor of two magazines with Hachette-Filipacchi publishing, one of the world’s largest publishing houses. But before he became a journalist, he was a strikingly successful entertainer/musician for twenty years and worked with such artists as Tom Waits, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Righteous Brothers, Jerry Jeff Walker, Roseanne Cash and many more. His most prized possession in his guitar collection is a special dreadnaught made for him by Mike Voltz, former guitar maker for Chet Atkins and now product manager for Gibson Acoustic Guitars in Nashville. |
