Download or read book How to Build Your Own Guitar written by Glad Schwesinger and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2002-03-12 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to show that there is an easier way to make a guitar. I have many books on building instruments but they were written by musicians, not wood workers. All too often, they are following a method many years old, but we now have power tools and there are wood shops where we can get boards planed to the correct thickness. The glue of today is far superior to the horse hide glue of yesteryears. I use two brass screws to secure the neck to the body. For me building a guitar is a fun project. When I am finished they look so nice and sound even nicer. Because of this, I decided to write a book on how to build a guitar and use many pictures to show better details. Here in the Northwest we have spruce, though it is becoming harder to find. Our local Maple makes good back and side wood. A logger friend brought me some quilted Maple and asked me to make him a guitar. The finished guitar was outstanding. It is a fun project to go searching for wood to build an instrument, although one needs a bit of patience and happy attitude.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new version of Tony Bacon's Six Decades of the Fender Telecaster shows how the world's first commercially successful solidbody electric guitar still attracts musicians more than 60 years since its birth in California. Today, it is more popular than ever and for many guitarists has overtaken the Stratocaster as the Fender to own and play. The Tele is the longest-lived solidbody electric, played by everyone from Muddy Waters to Keith Richards, from Radiohead to Snow Patrol. Its sheer simplicity and versatility are vividly illustrated here through interviews with Jeff Beck, James Burton, Bill Kirchen, John 5, and more. The book is three great volumes in one: a compendium of luscious pictures of the most desirable Teles, a gripping story from the earliest days to the latest exploits, and a detailed collector's guide to every Tele ever made. Packed with pictures of great players, collectable catalogs, period press ads, and cool memorabilia, The Telecaster Guitar Book is the one Tele book that all guitar fans will want to add to their collection.
