Stevo: I would have given this a higher rating, but the lack of color makes it seem like the book isn't up to date with the times. There's good info in here though.

Gregory MillerGregory Miller: Great book but difficult to read while on my workbench. I went to the local FedEx office store and had them put a spiral binding on it for less than $10. Now it lays flat on my bench while referencing it.

kcwcc: Covers just about everything the youtubers forget to mention. Things like the affect of gravity on neck relief, shaping compound necks and compensating for high fret falloff. Really good book if you prefer to learn from a pro instead of some hack looking for views. Stop sifting videos looking for gems...read how it's done and *then* find a video of someone doing it. Much faster learning curve. And start buying pawn shop guitars to practice on.

ralphman: First off, I can't believe the quality of this book. It is a thick manual with lots of photos. Worthy of coffee table display. I'm an avid guitar player and I enjoy upgrading low cost electric guitars. I do pretty well on the electronics but am a rookie when it comes to setup and playability. The most daring operation I perform in that arena is replacing tuners. I avoid anything dealing with the neck, frets, bridge, nut and tremolo. This book covers all of these areas and more, including the necessary tools.

Scott R.: When I got my first guitar in 1984 I also got a copy of the most recent Guitar Player magazine. Inside that magazine was a column by Dan Erlewine on guitar repair and maintenance. That column turned out to be the most valuable of all the ones in the magazine. Over the next year, reading Dan's column inspired me to want to learn more about the instrument, how to set it up, repair, maintain and even customize my cheap electric guitar. Over the years, I have built and repaired many guitars for local bands and musicians and the most valuable resources that I have in my library are the magazines with Dan's columns, books he has written and videos he has published. This book is the bible for anyone that wants to know the proper way to string a guitar, stretch strings, tweak and maintain the instrument. I bought this book again to give to my 18 year-old nephew who is interested in helping his friends maintain their instruments and to learn more about them. After just a couple of days of thumbing through it, he told me it was the best book he had ever seen on the guitar. This is the most comprehensive book you will find on this subject and I have bought and read almost...
