His wife promised on the spot to replace it with the guitar of his dreams, but Tim discovered that a dream guitar is built, not bought. He set out to find someone to make him the perfect guitar - a quest that ended up a dirt road in the Green Mountains of Vermont, where an amiable curmudgeon master-guitar-maker, Rick Davis, took a rare piece of cherry wood and went to work with saws, rasps, and files. When Tim wasnt breathing over Ricks shoulder, he was trying to unravel the symbolic associations a guitar holds for so many of us, musicians and nonmusicians alike. His quest took him across the country, talking to historians, curators, guitar makers, and guitarists.

In time it became Americas instrument, and the rhythm of its sound track.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=605169 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=620825 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=653573 In this book, two bluegrass guitarists join forces to help you get to grips with the music.
