About Bondo Guitars

As young I was fortunate to meet the renowned American luthier and instrument maker IRVING SLOANE. He took me under his wing, educated me, mentored and inspired me, and let me into his amazing world of fine hand-built classical guitars.

 

In my guitar workshop today, I still think of Irving with gratitude, and try to live up to his uncompromising demands on his work. Thank you, Irving, for inviting me into your amazing guitar building world!

In 2022 I published the book THE GUITAR on the history and construction

of the guitar from the Renaissance to the newest electric and digital guitars.

The book is available at amazon.com.
