The Guitar Repair Book
12/21/20241 min read


Finally, after quite a long wait, my repair book has been published! The book took nearly two years to write, and covers a wide range of maintenance and repair work for acoustic (steel-string and classical) guitars. 270 pages with over 600 images covering everything from string changing through setup to replacing a soundboard.
It is available through the publishers Crowood Press, but I'm hoping to also have it available through this website soon.
Here's the link to the publisher's website: The Guitar Repair Book - The Crowood Press
Unfortunately the publishers don't ship outside the UK, but there are a number of online book retailers that do. Here are just a couple:
