Excellence w plans
Took this out from library and was so comprehensive and easy to follow w/o being intimidating... good pics for illustrations easy to follow directions for the newbie or wannabe luthier... like the approach of not needing a woodshop full of high $$ woodworking equip. to complete a project comparable to a Martin or Taylor...assuming you pay attention to detail.
... Returned loan to library and bought my own cc... and ebayed an OM kit from asaa (an ebay seller of Martin kits) great price for the publication!

Acoustic Guitar
I bought two copies of this book. One for my son, who is building an acoustic guitar, and a copy for myself to be used as a reference book. My son was using a copy of the book from the local library but was having trouble because the book was always on a waiting list. If you are interested in either the practical aspects of guitar bulding or the theory of the acoustic guitar you will find the book to be of value.
