Of course I have.

William Cumpiano is a well known luthier, respected schoolar and eminence of the classical guitar.

I have attented a couple of his seminars and played a few of his wonderful guitars.

There is a great book about classical guitar building, among others.

Nope.

Yes, and if you write him (www.cumpiano.com) he will tell you all about it. ;)
