Building an Acoustic Guitar

It has long been a dream of mine to combine two of my hobbies – guitar and woodworking – and build my own guitar from scratch.   Some day…

Today, Marc over at the The Wood Whisperer posted part 1 in a new video series Birth of a Guitar, documenting Rick Urschel’s classical guitar project.    The video really shows how many steps are involved in building an acoustic guitar, and how many diverse skills are required.   Just imagine what it was like building such a guitar in the days before power tools!  Even with modern tools, it’s a gargantuan effort.
