If you have ever wondered why music is constructed the way it is, or why the guitar and other stringed instruments are made the way they are, then this book is for you. Based on a series of previously published articles, GUITAR Mechanics covers the construction and function of the acoustic guitar from top to bottom, inside and out. Since the electric guitar developed from the acoustic guitar, much of the text also has relevance to the electric instrument. The book is packed with facts and little known information and lists many sources for strings, capos, picks and slides. A promotional video for GUITAR Mechanics is available on YouTube – search for ResoBridge.
