Official Luthiers Forum!

..... but just in case....

Who 'da thunk a book would have been written that described the luthier and his/her passion. I was in the book store last night and came across this!

Can't get there. Amazon said page not functioning

Try this, I think it's probably the same book:

And it that doesn't work perhaps:

I actually read a new book called Claptons Guitar. It chronicles a builder named William Henderson who built two guitars for Clapton. Was actually a good book.

Sorry about that..... here's a new link

THIS link works...

A bunch of us bought this book at the ASIA Symposium, and Tim even was there as a guest speaker and autographed them. Great book.

Only badly."

I read it too. Some parts were a little boring for me, but I really liked the chapters on Rick's building. The history of the guitar was very interesting and it even helped me to appreciate this instrument even more. It was even nicer to meet Rick at the ASIA convention. Good stuff!

   You are correct. I typed in the middle of another work email i was writing to a William Henderson. Good thing the last name was correct!
