Safety disclaimer: Woodworking is an intrinsically dangerous craft. It requires the use of hand and machine tools that can cause grave or even fatal damage. No book alone can replace actual shop instruction with a qualified teacher; they can only supplement it. This book is intended as a companion to hands­on training by a knowledgeable craftsman, and before using any tool or power machine you must get face­to­face guidance on its operation. Always follow safety instructions that accompany tools, machinery, or supplies. If you don't feel comfortable performing an operation, stop immediately and get guidance. Woodworking can be a rewarding, lifelong pastime, but only if you concentrate on safety at all times.

  • Yamaha Guitar Information
    Yamaha Strengths, Artist’s Advantage “Yamaha Guitars: Essential Knowledge” has been created to give you a behind-the-scenes view of the surprisingly vast and varied resources, facilities, skills, and people involved in making Yamaha guitars the special instruments that they are. Yamaha’s enviable position in musical instrument manufacturing is not only a result of more than 120 years of experience (the company was established in 1887), but also of the unique strengths that its expansive operations bring to bear. From research and development through design and manufacturing to sales and support, Yamaha goes to lengths that are simply beyond the capabilities of most guitar makers. But an underlying dedication to music and the creation of fine musical instruments is always there, forming a steadfast foundation that often results in profit taking a back seat to the pursuit of quality. Yamaha’s true strengths as a guitar maker are not apparent in product brochures or specifications, but they are clearly reflected in the sound, playability, dependability, and overall quality of every guitar that bears the Yamaha name. “Essential Knowledge” includes information that will hopefully provide a clearer picture of the prodigious resources and effort that give artists who choose Yamaha a significant musical advantage.

  • Acoustic Guitar Buying Guide
    Acoustic Guitar Buying Guide A Starter’s Guide to Buying an Acoustic Guitar Shopping for an acoustic guitar can be an overwhelming experience. Because guitar makers use a wide range of woods, hardware, and design elements, there are many factors to consider. Specifically, there are four primary areas you will want to consider and/or know about before you start shopping. Table of Contents Purpose and Budget - How are you going to use your guitar, and how much will you spend? Construction and Design - Learn the basics before you shop. Styles and Sound - Understand how different features affect the sound of the guitar. Acoustic Guitar Variants - 12-string acoustics and alternate body shapes Don't Forget Personal Preference Glossary Purpose and Budget Before you think about brand names or body styles, consider what you are going to use the guitar for, and how much money you have to spend on one. Skill Level - Amateur or Advanced If you are a new player who is looking for an instrument to learn on, you may not want to spend too much on a high-end acoustic guitar just yet. Thanks to modern manufacturing techniques, there is a wide selection of good, low- to mid-range acoustic guitars to choose from. But maybe you are an experienced player who is ready to upgrade to a better guitar. In that case, it is important to know the difference between tonewoods, and how the soundboard effects resonance. Purpose - Acoustic-Electrics Expand Your Options Will you be playing with a band, or taking your guitar to public events such as open mic nights? If so, you may want to consider an acoustic-electric guitar.
