 | Guitarmaking: Tradition and Technology: A Complete Reference for the Design & Construction of the Steel-String Folk Guitar & the Classical Guitar (Guitar Reference) by Jonathan Natelson
Buy new: $28.30 / Used from: $15.25 A comprehensive volume with the well-earned reputation as the classic text on guitarmaking. If you can only own one book on guitarmaking, this is the one to get.

 | Build Your Own Acoustic Guitar: Complete Instructions and Full-Size Plans by Jonathan Kinkead
Buy new: $19.77 / Used from: $14.99 Extensive use of color photographs make this book a useful complement to Cumpiano's classic but somewhat sparsely-illustrated text.
|
 | A Guitar Maker's Manual by Jim Williams
Buy new: $15.56 / Used from: $11.70 Inexpensive book that may be especially helpful to novices working from a kit on their first guitar.
|
 | The Steel String Guitar: Construction & Repair (Bold Strummer Guitar) by David Russell Young
Buy used from: $20.00 A nicely-illustrated book that is unfortunately out of print. Young's book is sort of the predecessor to Kinkead's recent, visually-oriented book on guitarmaking.
|
| Ferrington Guitars/Book and Cd by Danny Ferrington
Buy used from: $0.99 Terrific coffee table book of unusual guitars made by iconoclastic luthier Danny Ferrington.
|
 | Making an Archtop Guitar by Robert Benedetto
Buy new: $26.37 / Used from: $24.99 Excellent book on arch-top guitar construction that will be of use to even flat-top makers.
|
 | Steel-String Guitar Construction: Acoustic Six-String, Twelve-String, and Arched-Top Guitars by Irving Sloane
Buy used from: $78.48 Another out-of-print book. Useful but not essential.
|
 | The Art of Inlay: Design and Technique for Fine Woodworking by Larry Robinson
Buy used from: $15.00 Excellent resource for inlay that goes beyond the brief sections found in guitarmaking books.
