The Guitar Player Repair Guide - 3rd Edition
This expanded edition for beginners to experts is a step-by-step manual to maintaining and repairing electric and acoustic guitars and basses. Players learn how to set up a guitar and keep it in top form by mastering basic maintenance. New features include set-up specs of leading players; stronger coverage of guitar electronics, including pickups and wiring diagrams; and expanded coverage of acoustics.
If you're not handy with tools, use the “basic” sections to keep your guitar out of the repair shop and playing its best. If you're a “do-it-yourselfer,” that section shows you how to do both simple and advanced repairs. If you want to go further into guitar repair, the “deep” sections are for you!
