Trobraku’s Notes from Inside a Guitar Workshop

Field notes

The material is organized as ten linked workshop subjects, beginning with tonewood selection and drying and continuing through bracing, hot-plate side bending, neck and fretwork, finishing, setup, and maintenance. Its explanations compare spruce and red cedar, discuss the behavior of rosewood, maple, cypress, walnut, cherry, and olive, and note that some tropical woods face trade restrictions. The homepage also identifies its illustration as an archival image rather than documentation of a specific Trobraku workshop.
