Why read it?
1 author picked Classical Guitar Making as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a beautiful book written by a master, who wants to inspire others to make classical guitars. These nylon string guitars look outwardly like other acoustic guitars. However, they are for a different kind of music and are made differently. Bogdanovich does a great job in leading a new builder through each step. I refer to this book a lot. It’s so nicely produced that I find myself just browsing through it, even when I’m not actually working on a classical guitar.
From Richard's list on people interested in guitars and guitar making.
