Publications Included In This Document

American Lutherie magazine, #1 – #100 (1985 – 2009). All AL issues are abstracted here so that this document can serve as an index of your complete collection, but please note that American Lutherie #1 – #48 are out of print. AL#1 – #12 have been superceded by The Big Red Book of American Lutherie, Volume One. AL#13 – 24 have been superceded by The Big Red Book of American Lutherie, Volume Two. AL#25 – 36 have been superceded by The Big Red Book of American Lutherie, Volume Three. AL#37 – 48 have been superceded by The Big Red Book of American Lutherie, Volume Four.

In the abstracts below, a reference to, for example, American Lutherie #10, page 47 would be abbreviated thusly: AL#10 p.47
Lutherie Tools, a 128-page hardback book published in 1990. Lutherie Tools is a compilation of GAL material on the subject of tools published before 1985, plus some new material.

Lutherie Woods and Steel String Guitars (out of print), a 156-page hardback book published in 1997. Lutherie Woods is a compilation of GAL material published before 1985, plus some new material. None of the material in Lutherie Woods is available in American Lutherie back issues. In the abstracts below, a reference to, for example, Lutherie Woods, page 44 would be abbreviated thusly: LW p.44

Specific book pages are not referenced in the abstracts, as the material was somewhat reorganized for the book, as well as being indexed, outlined, and supplimented with appendices.

Search Strategies

This document contains a listing of all current GAL publications, including title, author, keywords, and a short abstract of each article.By using the “find” or “search” capabilities of your word processor, you should be able to locate any word, phrase, or character string that appears in this document. Although you can go ahead and search for any word or name, your searches will be quicker and more fruitful if you bear in mind the tools we have attempted to provide for you.

Below you will find a list of keywords. Each article listed in this document has been assigned a few keywords, indicating the main thrust of that article. Keywords are identified by backslashes to set them apart from words appearing in a title or abstract. Only the keywords on the following list are operative. Find the appropriate keyword on the list, then search for that exact character string. Searching for the keywords, along with their backslashes, will enable you to go directly to articles that have the most information on that topic. By thoughtfully using backslashes and spaces, you will be able to control the width of your search.

(Note: In the following examples, the underscore character (_) is used to indicate a space. You would enter a space in your search dialog, not an underscore. It is used only to make the space visible for purposes of this explanation.)

For example, if you search for the keywords

\guitar\archtop

you will find only those articles which focus largely on the topic of archtop guitar. If, however, you search for the keyword

\guitar

your search widens out to include occurrences of the keywords \guitar\archtop, \guitar\baroque, \guitar\classical, \guitar\electric, \guitar\flattop, \guitar\harp, \guitar\resophonic, and \guitar\other. You are still finding only keywords, because only keywords use the backslash. To find all occurrences of “guitar” occurring in titles and abstracts but not in keywords, search for

_guitar_

(Remember, the underscores indicate spaces.) Now you will find all occurrences of the whole word “guitar” except those appearing as keywords. (Because no keyword can be preceded by a space and no backslash, get it?) But you will not find “Guitars and Mandolins in America” because you have included the space following the word “guitar.” Your widest search would be for

guitar

with neither backslash nor spaces. You will find jillions of occurrences, including all the guitar keywords and all forms of the word in any title or abstract. It would be a tedious process to look at every one of the several hundred occurrences that such a search would yield. But you would eventually find what you were looking for. In short, my point is that you will save yourself a lot of time by taking a few minutes to understand our keyword system. But if you choose not to, you can still get there.

(Note: The keyword subcategory “\other” when it occurs indicates that there are listings that do not fall in the listed subcategories. For instance, we do list the subcategory \bracing\lute, but not \bracing\dulcimer. If we have something on dulcimer bracing, it would appear under \bracing\other. Searching for

\bracing

will find all articles to which we have assigned a keyword of \bracing. You will also find all the subcategories, so you will find a lot of info on guitar bracing. But if you are looking for info on dulcimer bracing, search for

\bracing\other

and you will exclude all the guitar and lute stuff, letting you find any dulcimer stuff sooner.

A few notes on finding information about individual makers. Our keyword

\people

includes all interviews, visits, obituaries, and other articles that deal substantially with the person as opposed to the work. Searching for this keyword will show you all such articles in chronological order. To find just the plans, search on the word

\plans

and you will get to either the title or the abstract of all appropriate articles.

To find individuals by name, go to the list at the end of the document and find the name you want to search for. Then search for that name as a word (not a keyword). You should find all articles which are about that individual or their work, or which are written by them. Hint: Search for “Ramirez,” not “Jose Ramirez III.” Why? Because it is just possible that our abstracts may not be perfectly consistent. We may put “Ramirez” or “Jose Ramirez” or “Jose Ramirez, III” when we really mean “Jose Ramirez III.” And beware of spaces. Don’t search for “Overholtzer_” (with the space). You will not find “Overholtzer’s” or “Overholtzer-style” that way.

Here’s a suggestion to speed your searches: Divide this document into two separate documents. Put the instructions, keyword list, and name list in one file, and just the articles/abstracts listing in the other file. Open the articles/abstracts list document, and conduct your keyword search there. Then, for instance, you will not find the word “guitar” in the above examples or in the keyword list itself, and not have to scroll down past all this stuff to start a search.
