<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The first choice of aspiring guitar makers for more than 30 years</b> For some, it is not enough to buy a guitar--the challenge of designing and hand-making a unique, customized instrument is the dream. Since 1986, these people have turned to one book: <i>Make Your Own Electric Guitar</i>. Written in a clear, relaxed style, it covers every facet of guitar design and construction, as well as electronic theory and practice, and full woodworking and wiring techniques--all supported with plenty of photos and diagrams. Now in a revised and expanded third edition, <i>Make Your Own Electric Guitar</i> will enable any musician or enthusiast with basic woodworking skills to create a uniquely valuable instrument.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Back in the early days of my building journey, Melvyn's original book was an invaluable resource." -Scott Ambush, Ambush Basses, bassist for Spyro Gyra<br><br>"Five thousand guitars, 17 years, and nine staff. All because of one book and a dream. Thanks Melvyn!" -Perry Ormsby, Ormsby Guitars, Australia<br><br>"I made my first guitar the same year Melvyn Hiscock's book was first published, 1986. There wasn't much info out there and so I made it up as I went along. Eventually I stumbled upon this book and it changed everything.
