I made a few acoustic steel string guitars. I'm sure you have loads of books and there's a lot of videos on YouTube too. One thing I will pass along. You need humidity controlled work space not like I had. If it's too dry due to winter heat, it will expand in the sumer and crack or warp. And too moist It can dry to a point of a crack. You need that middle humidity range when building. I had a beauty crack on me. No books discussed it back when I built mine in the late 60s - 70s. For any of you who own an acoustic guitar, get a humidifier for the winter that goes in the guitar - they're cheap.
