Publisher's Note The Acoustic Guitar, Volume II, is the long-awaited sequel to Don E. Teeter's earlier volume on guitar adjustment, care, maintenance, and repair. The first volume provides detailed instructions on disassembling and assembling guitars, describes the tools and materials used in their repair, and gives step-by-step procedures for major and minor repairs, inlay work, and refinishing. The second volume updates this material with new techniques and instructions on how to custom design tools and equipment to simplify the job of repairing and refurbishing guitars. Teeter develops numerous new tools and jigs to save time, such as the string tension simulation jig, which will help remove the last vestige of guesswork from refretting. Glues and their use in repairing cracks, tension rod adjustments, the use of pearl inlay, and finishing and refinishing are discussed. Imported plywood guitars and their unique problems are also covered, and Teeter offers pointers on how to repair them and even improve their sound production.
