  • Most critical review

    Guitar Maintenance

    The book is ok a little different from the first edition with slightly different information, would be really good for beginner wanting to save maintenance and setup cost. As with the first book the DVD does not want to play and you will need a special player for the DVD or VOB files, not CD or DVD Player friendly. Book is helpful and you can google for a free VOB File Player. Hope this helps!

  • All in one guitar setup

    Great book with good explanations & pics. Great tool in your inventory. The book is not coming with DVD anymore, but the download code for the online videos included. I recommend to anybody, who is looking for a great summarized knowledge about guitar setups.

  • Excellent Reference

    I have several electric guitars that were never set up correctly. Using the information in this book I was able to set them up to my specs. The set up and intonation came out perfect. I can finally play like I always wanted to. You gotta have this book!

  • Written by a master luthier

    If you own a guitar and play any amount at all, you need to know more than just playing. Skimmed the book when it came. It is informative and will help any player maintain and service his guitar. The information may even save enough to more than cover the book's cost.
