Great Book

I have an older edition that does not have the DVD but the book is very useful & offers a lot of trade secrets that take a lot of error our of many trials!

I am considering the new edition for the signed copy & for the DVD..

Must Have

If you were to learn as much as you can about guitar-repair from 1 book, this is the one! I first bought the 2nd Edition 15 years ago and loved it! I bought this one to see what's new.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was there is a considerable amount of grammatical-errors and was not as well written (compared to the 2nd Edition). In the end it is still a great source of knowledge.

A must have

I had the earlier version in Australia. Having now moved to Texas and playing guitar again, had to buy the book again because it is an invaluable reference when setting up my guitars.
