Bogdanovich discusses the anatomy of the guitar, sound, choosing an instrument, selecting woods, templates and molds, and preparation. In more than 300 pages of text, he painstakingly lays out the details of construction, from assembling the neck and sides to installing the fingerboard and bridge.Bogdanovich, John S. is the author of 'Classical Guitar Making A Modern Approach to Traditional Design' with ISBN 9781402720604 and ISBN 1402720602.
