"Using Physics and Engineering Concepts for Building Guitar Family Instruments:
An Introductory Guide to Their Practical Application.
David Hurd, Ph.D
"This book is about understanding physics and engineering concepts as they are actually applied to instrument building. If you have already built several instruments and want more consistency, better mechanical stability and a deeper understanding of the effects of string load on your instrument (as well as many other concepts), this is the book for you."
Contains over 200 pages replete with diagrams, photographs, equations and is accompanied by an excellent CD.
