There are plenty of converts on the forum, Steve.....

There's also a review here that appeared in American Lutherie.

Just put my order in. By all reports I need to brush up on my Math skills.

Look forward to getting into the detail.

Cheers

I opened my copies today. My wife purchased them at the AGMS dinner in July.
A fabulous gift...autographed and all.
(I'm starting to think she'd prefer if I was down the shed.)

I'd like a copy of your wife please.

Three problems with that, Markus

1. She's one in seven billion
2. Someone broke the mold
3. Patent laws forbid it......unless, of course, I modify her design in some way....hmmmm???... now ya got me thinkin'.

Well trev,

After all the good words and high praise out there about your books, I've done the dirty and purchased, it's probably good in a way to understand the mathematics behind what I do.

That way when I'm teaching others on acoustic guitar builds I'll have proof of the why we do it this way.

Cool, there's really no rush, I'll probably read the books at home.

It will be interesting to apply the mathematics / testing on the current builds I've got going, there are three customers building acoustics at the moment. All standard x bracings, so I'm intrigued to see the results to say the least.
