This review is from: The Guitar Player Repair Guide - 3rd (Paperback)
Dan Erlewine's latest edition of the Guitar Player Repair Guide is a worthy update. There are numerous additions and updates anyone familiar with the previous editions should check out. If you are new to the guitar, this book is the maintenance and repair guide than will help you maintain your investment, and even give you great tips on how to hod-rod, customize or fix your guitar.
The book is organized and logically arranged with Basic, DIY and Deep sections in each chapter. Electric, Acoustic and Bass guitars are all covered with detailed narrative and clear pictures. Even if you are not up to jobs like fret work or truss rod adjustments, this book will prepare you to talk with your friendly neighborhood guitar repair guy about getting your guitar back to its former glory. Very highly recommended. Make this your first purchase for your guitar dedicated bookshelf (doesn't everyone have those?).

This review is from: The Guitar Player Repair Guide - 3rd (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. It covers basic to advanced information on a repair as well as great explanations on how to do the repair. I have repaired guitars for years, but had gone away from it for a while. This was a great refresher on some measurements and fine points I had forgotten the specifics of.
