My Short List of Books on The Classical Guitar and Classical Guitar Construction

This is NOT  a definitive list of books about the classical guitar and how to make them. I have all of these books in my personal library and I find that they cover the best of what is the classical guitar. This list is simply a starting point if you are interested in the history of classical guitar and its construction methods. I highly recommend that you join the Guild of American Luthiers  , here you can learn about all sorts of stringed instrument making, and you should visit Orfeo Magazine  to learn more about the classical guitar of the 20th and 21st centuries. I started this list about the year 2012 after I gave a few lectures to classical guitar students at several universities in Colorado. Please feel free to share this list! You can also find this list on my Substack account ! Don’t forget to subscribe to my Substack, I will being posting more about how I make a classical guitar!
