"It's been 14 years since the previous edition of the Repair Guide, and my old copy's overflowing with notes and new techniques! I've included them all in the new updated 3rd edition."— Dan

"This book is a must-have." — Henry Juszkiewicz, Chairman, Gibson Guitars

The Guitar Player Repair Guide is the most widely used basic reference in repair shops, featuring factory setup specifications for Martin, Gibson and Fender guitars, in-depth fretting instruction, advice from top repairmen, and much more!

FREE Guitar Tips DVD included! Dan shows you how to evaluate, intonate and string a guitar. You can print out handy assessment forms for repairs, too.

I just received my copy of the Guitar Player Repair Guide, 3rd Edition. I was just knocked out by the fact that Mr. Erlewine signed it! I about wore out the 2nd edition, and I appreciate the updates in this one.
