CLASSICAL GUITAR
This nylon string guitar was started by
Richard Schneider. At the time of his
death it was a collection of unfinished pieces,
the sides were bent, the neck was rough/cut,
the top and back had been braced, but the
braces needed to be carved and of course
the instrument needed to be assembled.
It has an Engelmann Spruce top,
Redwood back,
Brazilian Rosewood sides,
Mahogany neck,
Ebony fingerboard, Schaller tuners.
Body size 20" x 14.5" x 4"
String length 26"

One of the most asked questions I get is: "How do I build my own guitar?"

While I enjoy sharing tips and information, my time is valuable to me and it is very difficult to teach someone how to build an instrument through emails! On my Links page you will find a list of sites and reference materials I recommend.

Two of the most helpful organizations that I strongly recommend that you join are
Guild of American Luthiers http://www.luth.org/
and
The Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans http://www.guitarmaker.org/
