February 23, 2009 Please send this thank you to Dan Erlewine for the note on the Guitar Player Repair Guide, and for the completeness of the information provided. It has helped me resolve a ground problem that haunted me for months in my 1976 Les Paul.

November 10, 2008 When I received my Guitar Player Repair Guide, I was very pleasantly surprised to see that Dan had signed the inside. This is how to make us feel less like customers and more like family. Thank You.
