Summary

Journalist St. John recounts how a perfect acoustic guitar comes into the world and how an artist gauges perfection. Deep in the mountains of southwestern Virginia, small-town wise man Wayne Henderson crafts some of the most highly coveted guitars on earth. This book is for lovers of old-time music, unplugged rock, traditional American craftsmanship, or simply storytelling.--From publisher description
