The Definitive Book On Guitar Repair

Post by asphalt-abate »

My wife needs to know what I want for Christmas. I can't think of much that would excite me (...that's acceptable for a married man :twisted: ) but since I play guitar it might be worth my while to learn how to properly set one up and repair it.

I recall there is a book that has been mentioned on this site a few times as being the definitive book on guitar set up and repair. Can anyone recall what book this is? A title and author would help. If you have a suggestion of your own, I'm open to it as well.

Thanks :clap: ,

Or Dan Erlewine's other book: How To Make Your Electric Guitar Play Great!. This is the one with the radius gauges.
