Customer Reviews

Great stuff
This book (and its companion volume II) is outstanding. The author has a no-nonsense style of writing that is entertaining, concise, and extremely useful. He explains what works, what doesn't, and why. Very good information on making your own tools and on how to do a better job with less work. His motivation is to share information, not to sell product. I have other books on the subject which are good and very useful, these two volumes are far and away the best.

The Best
I can provide only a brief review as my time is limited. In a nutshell this is a book that any Luthier would benefit from. It is obvious that Mr. Teeter is a very precise craftsman whom does not take shortcuts. The information presented is the correct way to do whatever needs to be done. I would have to consider this the best of the books on lutherie that I own.

learn to repair a guitar , for understand how to build a new one.
In my opinion this book and the volume naturally 2 represent a guide to face the reparation of the guitar and at the same time to have the necessary notions to be of assistance to whom will purchase' our new tools.
All it takes is building a tool it says Cumpiano, but it also needs to be able to repair it.
Then a good guide to integrate the know how of whom wants to build a guitar.
Excellent the section of the jigs and tools that allows to save many money.
