As the acoustic guitar enjoys a resurgence in contemporary music, Haynes is publishing the Acoustic Guitar Manual - a complete guide to buying, setting up and maintaining a rich variety of acoustic guitars.
Many rock and pop guitarists begin their playing on an acoustic guitar and the advent of MTV's Unplugged and improvements in acoustic amplification mean this once poor relation has returned to centre stage in the guitar world.
The easy-to-use Acoustic Guitar Manual explains in detail how to get the best from most popular types of acoustic guitar, including an Amalia Ramírez classic, a modern 'flamenco', a fabulous '12-fret' Martin Dreadnought, an 'Eric Clapton' 00028, a brilliant 'Belleville' Gypsy Jazz, and an historic Lloyd Loar Gibson L5, providing a unique insight into their varied design, construction and maintenance.
Thirteen detailed case studies examine the care and maintenance of range of acoustics, and unique 'videoscope' photography reveals the inner details of 10 very different guitars.
Author Paul Balmer also provides a detailed account of the work involved in the restoration of his rare 1930s 'Robert Johnson' Kalamazoo KG14.
Coverage includes:
- Buying the right acoustic guitar for your needs

- Setting up and tuning
