Contemporary Acoustic Guitar Design and Build is a two volume set written by two of Australia's leading Luthiers - Gerard Gilet and Trevor Gore. Endorsed by luminaries in both the scientific and guitar playing communities such as Professor Thomas Rossing, Dr Neville Thiele, Tommy Emmanuel and Gareth Koch, these books are a must-have for anyone who wants to know how to design and build high performance acoustic guitars.

Sydney Guitar Repairs is proud to recommend this two volume set, which can be purchased from SGR for $200 AUD.
