I own some thirty books on guitars and guitar building. Some of them very good, quite a few not in that category at all. I have been building guitars as a hobby for more than 15 years, always seeking for inspiration and new ideas. There have been some attempts on repair work as well, but I have always been a bit reluctant to do these, as I feel I really don’t know a lot about how to carry on the work. Until now! I received you book earlier today, and am SO impressed with it. What a Bible! All very well laid out, very informative on different topics and levels, accompanied with great photos. I will read the whole book with great pleasure and use it as a manual for more repairs I now will dare to get into.
