Print too light

I am having a problem with the grey text. It is hard to read. I don't know why they decided to print with grey instead of black ink.

Great Book!!!!

This is an excellent book. It covers basic to advanced information on a repair as well as great explanations on how to do the repair. I have repaired guitars for years, but had gone away from it for a while. This was a great refresher on some measurements and fine points I had forgotten the specifics of.

An Excellent Update! Required Reading for anyone owning a guitar.

Dan Erlewine's latest edition of the Guitar Player Repair Guide is a worthy update. There are numerous additions and updates anyone familiar with the previous editions should check out. If you are new to the guitar, this book is the maintenance and repair guide than will help you maintain your investment, and even give you great tips on how to hod-rod, customize or fix your guitar.

The book is organized and logically arranged with Basic, DIY and Deep sections in each chapter. Electric, Acoustic and Bass guitars are all covered with detailed narrative and clear pictures.

Even if you are not up to jobs like fret work or truss rod adjustments, this book will prepare you to talk with your friendly neighborhood guitar repair guy about getting your guitar back to its former glory.

Very highly recommended. Make this your first purchase for your guitar dedicated bookshelf (doesn't everyone have those?).

You will not find a more comprehensive guide to guitar repair nor will you find a more knowledgable or experienced guide then Dan. You will not be disappointed.

A great guide to guitar repair! Highly recommended to those who wish to learn more about the whys and whats of guitars and how to do your own modifications. If not doing your own modificiations, at least to know more
about how they are done, what to look for and feel more confident when
dealing with your guitar tech as you will be better educated and more informed with respect to the guitar and its components after reading this book.

This is THE repair guide to have!

I waited for the most recent edition to come out, and I'm glad I did. This is THE repair guide to have for guitar. Covers just about everything (or at least points you in the right direction).

Read ASAP (Don't Wait Too Long Like Me)

I was about 5- to 7-years-old when I watched Dan Erlewine and his band, The Prime Movers, rehearse in my basement and across the street in my neighbors' living room. Then, in 1969 at age 8, I started playing guitar and haven't stopped. Finally in April 2008, I bought Dan's books, "Guitar Player Repair Guide" and "How to Make Your Electric Guitar Play Great." Wish I'd had this information 30 years ago.

Brilliant.

A must have!

Not much to say about it, if you play guitar and you care about details, you cannot go without it!
