5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff, December 1, 2007

By	Michael S. Curtin (Redlands, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Acoustic Guitar: Adjustment, Care, Maintenance and Repair (Volume I) (Paperback)

This book (and its companion volume II) is outstanding. The author has a no-nonsense style of writing that is entertaining, concise, and extremely useful. He explains what works, what doesn't, and why. Very good information on making your own tools and on how to do a better job with less work. His motivation is to share information, not to sell product. I have other books on the subject which are good and very useful, these two volumes are far and away the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good reference, June 28, 2009

By	G. Thomas "Tom" (CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Acoustic Guitar: Adjustment, Care, Maintenance and Repair (Volume I) (Paperback)

Fairly easy and simple to follow. Provides enough guidance for the average person to perform minor repairs at home. If you have the right tools and work area, the book will aid you in completing more involved repairs. It will not make you a luthier, but it can save you money.. if ued correctly.. on some of the simplier repair task.
