Perfect Starter

Dan Erlewine is great, but can be daunting when you are just starting to work on your own guitar. This is a perfect book for that player who wants to undertake that first guitar project; the guy who's been playing for a while, and decided it's time to finally change those pickups / that neck / those tuners / etc.

The Player's Guide to Guitar Maintenance

A definite five star rating. If I had to choose two books to own for guitar repair and general info, it would be this one and the Earlewine book. The first thing you'll notice is the quality of the illustrations and the photos. The pages are coated stock and all the photos are in color and incredibly detailed, unlike many other guitar books that have "cheezy" grey scale photos and crude hand drawn diagrams. What really amazed me was how current and relevant the information is. Many of the pickups and bridges mentioned for example, are the newest models available. The wiring diagrams and modifications are very easy to understand and are quite useful.If you're looking for info on setting up your Gibson or Fender, this is the book. It's well laid out and written, informative without being boring, and has incredible photographs, illustrations, and diagrams. Once again, five stars and a definite keeper.

Great book for starters

I have other books on the subject but this one helps me understand what on earth the other ones mean! If you have a lot of experiance in this field this will be mostly yesterday's news but i found it very useful as a beginner. Note: knoledge is required, someone who learned to play guitar yesterday will not profit from this otherwise great book.
