That's why I now see Dan as a walking encyclopedia when it comes to guitar repair. There’s a wealth of experience in these pages that only comes from years of dedication to the craft. The “Guitar Player Repair Guide” has three sections: Basic, DIY and Deep. Again, Dan is so knowledgeable that the “Basic” sections are pretty much everything the average player needs to know. You’ll need to roll-up your sleeves for the DIY sections and have considerable dedication for the Deep sections. Dan has his own way of doing things and gives great detail on how-to and often why he likes a particular way. But what I really like is he points out how other people do things too. There are interviews and so many names/publications mentioned that the book is also a great resource for further study. Basically, Dan is confidant because he has mastered the craft of guitar repair. He doesn’t feel threatened by different perspectives. That’s what makes the “Guitar Player Repair Guide” the best book I’ve seen on guitar repair: It is intentionally inclusive of different approaches. If you do guitar repair for a living, then the “Guitar Player Repair Guide” is a must have. If you’re looking to just care for your guitar and want something more basic, then I suggest “Complete Guitar Care” by Blackwood. Wouldn’t hurt to get both. So glad I did. Review: Excellent! - The wealth of practical, hands-on knowledge of a huge variety of guitar makes, models and eras in this book is phenomenal. It's my hands-down go to for guitar repair and maintenance. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #32,309 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #63 in Guitar Tools | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,202) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.85 x 10.95 inches | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 0879309210 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0879309213 | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 334 pages | | Publication date | December 1, 2007 | | Publisher | Backbeat | ## Images ![The Guitar Player Repair Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qStshsfhL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Guitar Repair Bible *by K***I on March 2, 2025* Book are embalmed minds.

It's my hands-down go to for guitar repair and maintenance. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What's under the hood? *by C***A on December 22, 2010* The fact is many people play guitar and have no idea of how to maintain it other than changing the strings. As long as you have a good repair shop nearby that's usually all you need... or is it? If you're one of those people who have to know what it is you're holding, driving, playing and/or what can make it work that much better then this book is a must. It covers every square inch of both electric and accoustic guitars, giving you a thorough explanation of how to reach a fine standard of playability and beyond in a casual, easy to read style. What's more is it explains many of the problems repairmen and luthiers actively work to solve in a deceptively simple looking instrument. While it doesn't cover every after-market solution to every adjustment problem it does cover the essential tools and techniques necessary that should enable the reader to repair and/or tune any guitar. I was skeptical this book was worth the price until it arrived. Over 1 inch thick, excellent photos, clear layout and the included DVD is a treasure of information that would take you quite a while to accumulate for free off the net and even more time to organize. It's no wonder old copies sell for close to the price of a new one. After you've jumped into fine tuning you might go a step further by learning how your instrument was made. Check out Melvyn Hiscock's "Make your own electric guitar" to see common boards, steel, copper and magnets become that amazing thing we all aspire to play our best. Outstanding value. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Guitar Player Repair Guide - How to Make Your Electric Guitar Play Great!
