Brendan: Love this book, I was able to set up my Tele all by myself with a few simple tools. I was always afraid of adjusting the truss rod, lowering action, raising the pickups, etc. But this book breaks the process down into a few simple steps and now my axe sounds great without having to pay $100 for a setup!

Roberto F. D.: Compré este libro porque me lo recomendó un luthier al que acudí para solucionar unos desajustes en mi guitarra eléctrica. Me dijo que era un libro claro, con explicaciones precisas y fácil de seguir a pesar de estar en inglés. Le he dado 5 estrellas por la opinión de este profesional, ya que tengo el libro para usarlo cuando me haga falta y apenas le he echado un vistazo. Ahora bien, leí la sección dedicada a las partes de la guitarra y la verdad es que me gustó mucho.

This book does a great job of being concise and walking you through a full setup from start to finish. Not too in depth and not too basic. I’ve never done a guitar setup but I’m patient and have some mechanical skill. I now have the best playing electric I’ve ever owned. Almost perfectly in tune across the entire neck. Amazing and fun to play for the first time. I’m no longer cringing when a note way up on the 17th fret is out of tune even though it’s in tune while player open. It sounds so amazing.

I only own Fender style instruments and I appreciated that this book also explained the other styles of bridges and nuts so I know what I’m up against if I buy an Ibanez or Gibson. It also covered the basics of setting up an acoustic but doesn’t go into incredible detail on bridge work - doesn’t talk at all about how to lengthen or shorten the string length if you are having...
