The goal is to bring the technical aspects of guitar design and manufacturing to a broader audience than the French's last Springer publication, Engineering the Guitar (ISBN 978-0-387-74368-4). Employees at the guitar manufacturers, working luthiers and interested amateurs do not generally have science or engineering backgrounds; this will be a complete reference that is easier to understand and to use. Although the book also will provide an overview of the field, Technology of the Guitar will focus strongly on practical and immediately applicable subjects. In order to make the book attractive to more casual readers, background information and historical perspectives will also be included. Technology of the Guitar will also include historical content and examination of important designs in order to appeal to broader range of readers, composition of strings and their effects on sound quality, and case studies of historically significant instruments and of technologically innovative instruments.
