The book was written with the first time builder in mind, but experienced builders may also find some useful information or techniques in its content. In addition to information on guitar making, there are many helpful tips regarding tools, techniques, and materials. I think you will find it more than enough to get you started making the guitar you have always dreamed of making. It may also make an experienced builder think differently about the process.
