The Perfect Guitar: A Journey Of Discovery In A Guitar Maker'S Workshop

In 2012 writer Rick Gibbs asked luthier Robert Anderson to build him the guitar of his dreams, an acoustic jazz archtop. The result - a gorgeous instrument and a book that blends memoir, philosophy, history, art, science, music and technology with the engaging story of a highly skilled artisan practising his craft. -There is perfection. And there are perfectionists. Rick Gibbs seeks them out - from guitar geniuses Pat Metheny and Julian Lage to master luthiers Linda Manzer and John Monteleone - deftly weaving their stories together with his own quest for the holy grail of guitars. The journey ends with the birth of a new guitar and a state of mind that resonates long after the last chord fills the air.- - D. F. Bailey author of Bone Maker
