Génial

Très bon livre pour nous apprendre toutes les petites opérations à effectuer sur une guitare. Le CD est lui aussi riche en contenu. Je le recommande vivement

Guitar Player Repair Guide

I have average fix-it skills and very little experience with guitar work so I was glad to read both the Repair Guide and How to Make Your Electric Guitar Play Great. I found both books easy to understand and clear enough to know what I will try and what is beyond my skill level. They will help me to know what needs to be done and who needs to do it. Shop tips are great too. All guide me to what tools I need to purchase. Thanks!

Guitar player repair guide

Have not had time to go through it all, but from the first part - Care of your instruments - is, in my humble opinion, worth every cent. Am anxious to read through this guide.

Great Book

No more paying a guitar store to do simple repairs for my guitars. For the price of 1 simple set up or repair you can buy this book and do them all yourself. I have used this book to do repairs to all mine and my frineds guitars. Set ups, fret jobs, nut jobs, saddle and bridge jobs, even fixed a finsih. Great Book.

First i would like to say thank you for such prompt service shipping my book. Well now that i've started reading the repair book i am more convinced i want to learn it and say guitar repair tech's are under paid big time. So much to learn but Dans' book will certainly get you there along woth the resources he offers. Thank you Dan for shareing you knowledge with all of us who love the world of music.
