Stumbling through the Internet can be fun. I ran across http://schrammguitars.com/ Dave Schramm's web site a while back. He has been generous enough to share some of his knowledge. Check out the guitars in various stages of being built right on the front page! I was first drawn to the page by the http://schrammguitars.com/selectingguitar.html Selecting a Guitar article. Then found the http://schrammguitars.com/intonation.html Intonation and Fret Placement piece fascinating. Lots of good reading material there. If you really want to get stuck for a while you can follow the link over to http://onlineapprentice.com/ The Online Apprentice . They'll show you how to build your own guitar and what you need to gitter done . Now I need to practice more to justify owning such a grand instrument.
