• Overview:

  The Guitar & Ukulele Construction Guide takes you through all of the steps from selecting wood, assembling the proper tools and fixtures, and also includes the fine details on installation of braces, bending sides, installing kerfing, blocks, and much, much more.

  It also provides recommendations of tools you'll need when starting out, as well as jigs, clamps and just about everything you'll need to build your acoustic or classical guitar or ukelele with ease!

  Unlike most eBooks that give you a hundred pages of double-spaced text with large-type text just designed to fill up the pages, our book is packed with tons of instrument building information, as well as lots of illustrations and photos of the actual guitar building process.

   

• For The Luthier:

  When used with our detailed guitar building plans, this guide is the perfect instruction manual and will answer all the questions you have about making a stringed instrument.

  Also included with the eBook is a comprehensive Glossary to define most of the terminology used in lutherie, which can be somewhat confusing to the beginning builder.

  The page samples shown here, list the chapters in the eBook as well as a several select sample pages to give you a feeling of what is contained in this manual.

  If you are purchasing a plan, be sure to put one of these books in your cart too. Get started the right way because there's nothing more irritating than ruining expensive wood, and wasting time!

• GENERAL INFORMATION:

  I've developed these guitar tabs over the years both during my music teaching years and more recently, documenting the songs with the advanced notation software that is now available to all musicians.

  Throughout most of my carrier, I've played finger style guitar. In the late 1990's I started to get into flat picking styles and fiddle tunes

  The books featured here are all fiddle tune standards, and should be the songs you learn to build a base repertoire before moving on to more advanced material.

  The books are setup in 3 levels of player experience - beginner, intermediate and advanced, which should satisfy most guitar players no matter what your level of experience. Also, each collection has 2 separate books with 12 songs in each book for a total of 24 songs

  Each song has beginner, intermediate and advanced versions, giving you a lot of versatility in your playing.
