What to expect:

If you play electric guitar, acoustic guitar, classical guitar, or even play bass guitar, you can learn guitar set up and maintenance for yourself with this top-selling guitar repair book. After years of successful workshops and group guitar setup classes, led by the Canadian guitar tech & educator Jonny Blackwood, this guitar setup guide has been tweaked and refined to simplistic perfection, in keeping true to the testament that less sometimes is more.

Use this book to gain an edge and develop your skills with a great foundation.
