Acoustic guitarists can now better understand their instruments, preserve and protect their value, and get the sounds they really want, thanks to this new book from the experts at Acoustic Guitar magazine. This indispensable guide begins by acquainting players with their instruments and laying to rest some pervasive guitar myths, then proceeds through various aspects of basic care, setup, common repairs, and pickup installation. Whether itÕs cleaning and polishing a beloved guitar, protecting it from theft or changes in humidity, selecting a case, or performing diagnostics, readers will become more savvy acoustic guitar owners and repair-shop customers and can forego dubious advice from well-meaning friends and anonymous "experts" on the Web. Includes a primer and glossary of terms.

A valuable investment,
This review is from: Acoustic Guitar Owner's Manual Book (String Letter Publishing) (Acoustic Guitar) (Acoustic Guitar Guides) (Paperback)
As a long time guitar player, I was surprised that something like this for acoustic guitars was not available sooner. I subscribe to Acoustic Guitar, and their tips have been very valuable, since acoustic guitars are far more fragile than the extensively discussed electric guitars. I guess the increasing "unplugged" movement has finally given the acoustic the due it desearves to the younger musicians, and old dogs like me needed to know too. A valuable investment for anyone with an acoustic, especially one of quality.

A good book with a lot of useful information. I wanted it for use in tying classical strings and minor repairs. If your relatively new to this type of stuff, you will find this a valuable reference.

I bought this book for my musically inclined 14 year old son. He started taking guitar lessons 6 months ago and is interested in learning everything he can about acoustic guitars. He's not a big reader, but he's reading this book with interest.
