(Book). This limited edition silver-embossed, facsimile-autographed, slipcase holds both books. These books are essential for anyone who is interested in a comprehensive account of the modern guitar, and how a highly responsive guitar is made. They offer info from one of the most-revered luthiers of our times. No publication has ever presented trade secrets and practical information to truly change the way a person makes or appreciates the steel-stringed guitar. Ervin Somogyi is a Hungarian-born master luthier whose guitars are renowned for their responsiveness and tone trademarks for a great guitar. After almost five decades of making this instrument, teaching and writing about the development and construction of the guitar, Somogyi reveals the methods, techniques and philosophy behind his legendary instruments. The Responsive Guitar is about physics, dynamics, acoustics and construction of the guitar. It's about the mechanics of tone; what materials to build with, when to add or remove wood for maximum benefit, and why those techniques work. Somogyi explains in exquisite detail how the guitar makes sound, and what musicians and luthiers need to know in order to appreciate a really well-made guitar. This book sets the foundation for the matching volume Making the Responsive Guitar . Making the Responsive Guitar is the second volume on a two-volume set of books that set out the principles and methods of building fine hand-made guitars. Where Volume 1 sets up the knowledge, this book is about how to build a guitar, from the very first step to the last.

I've had these two books for just a few weeks and have read everything at least twice, many chapters many more times than that. Each time I go through I find something new. They only seem expensive. For the person who wants to move beyond merely producing a well made variation of a factory guitar, the information in these books can put you 10 or 15 years ahead of where you are now in your quest. What's that worth on a per year basis? They seem under priced when I think of them this way.

They are also useful for players and collectors who wish to expand their understanding of how the instrument works. To pick one example from many instances, Mr. Somogyi will tell you how a blues guitar benefits from a certain bracing pattern while a finger picked guitar works better using a different design.

The author is a master builder who has earned his place in the history of lutherie, yet he openly discusses methods that are alternatives to the ones he uses, right alongside his own approach. When one knows as much as Mr. Somogyi, there is no need to be dogmatic. Likewise, when one writes as well as Mr. Somogyi, there is no obfuscation of complex discussions, yet neither does he talk down to the reader. He treats his readers with respect and offers direct, plain-English access to what he has learned from his many years of rather profound work. At times, he demonstrates great love for the reader as well.

The books are beautifully made too. The paper is substantial, the photographs excellent, the layout elegant, all of which make them both easy and pleasurable to read. Contrary to one opinion expressed here, Somogyi did not need better advice about how to write a book.
