Cool Wooden Box: Transformation Of The American Acoustic Guitar (Charles K. Wolfe Music Series)

This book is a history of guitar making in the US since the folk revival of the 1960s. Based largely on the author's interviews, it includes chapters on the rise of the modern independent luthier movement, recent developments at Martin, at Gibson, and at Taylor- especially regarding the use of technology and ways it is in tension with these companies' traditions and ways it honors their traditions-the changing, though still robust market, and the effect of foreign competition on American builders--
