Your First Guitar

摘要

There are many functional and beautiful things that you can make as a woodworker, but perhaps none combines function and beauty as fully as an acoustic guitar. The curved sides, inlaid top, and carefully fitted neck all pose satisfying challenges for the woodworker. And the finished piece is uniquely satisfying as well—as beautiful as fine furniture, but made to create music. Still, many woodworkers who might otherwise try building a guitar are put off the project, thinking they'll need a host of specialized tools and new skills.
