Why read it?
1 author picked Technology of the Guitar as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Most builders of stringed musical instruments desire some information about how the instruments they build actually produce sound.
The problem of producing a book on the subject is that it is highly technical and as such largely inaccessible. Mark French’s work expertly addresses this issue. The result is a work that is as accessible as possible and also complete and technically accurate.
The author has the perfect background for a work like this. He is a professor of engineering technology, and he uses guitar design and construction as the basis of teaching his highly popular courses on STEM subjects.
From R.M.'s list on building stringed musical instruments.
