The Responsive Guitar
The Responsive Guitar is about physics, dynamics, acoustics and construction of the guitar. It's about the mechanics of tone; what materials to build with, when to add or remove wood for maximum benefit, and why those techniques work. Somogyi explains in exquisite detail how the guitar makes sound, and what musicians and luthiers need to know in order to appreciate a really well-made guitar. This book sets the foundation for the matching volume Making the Responsive Guitar .

It's pretty good, but not entirely polished for a solid concise book. many parts feel like randomly assembled notes rather than a well thought story

I found these books to be too theoretical and they did not have nearly enough practical advice.
