Customer Reviews

great value for your money

Have this book for a few years now, and it paid itself over and over again. Since the time i had my entire Strat's electronics replaced I had used this book to refine and bias it's sound over and over - and every time it was as easy as riding a bicycle. With clear sketches, it covers not only guitars but also bass and acoustic with pickups / amp hookup.

"Easily the best guitar electronics book ever written".

I was very impressed with this book. It was fascinating and a joy to read. It goes into detail and explains everything. I rewired my guitar after reading this book. I now want to buy more of Donald Brosnac's books. Keep 'em coming Donald!

Simple, well expained, took mystery out of guit electronics

I am a guitar player who picked up this book a few years ago and it has been my electronics bible ever since. I used the information to repair some of my guitars and eventually to shape the sound I wanted out of them. I now know what to look for in guitar gear.

Great book for people who want to fix it themself!

Teaches and shows you everthing you need to know on installing, or fixing your pick-ups, puting a finish in your guitar, or keeping your neck from cracking.
