CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Waste............ -
If you own a guitar, you probably know how to feed the strings through the tuner-peg holes. You don't need a book to show you how. This book goes over some of the elementary aspects of guitar maintenance that can be searched out on the web......most of these books that claim to offer key insight or special knowledge are a gimmick to make you buy.......there's nothing in here that you can't figure out on your own...........if you're looking to make some kind of in-depth repair to your amp, this book will NOT help you out much either.........anyone that's curious about making an electronic repair to a guitar or amp knows to look for a loose connection or broken solder joint, don't need a book to tell you that already!!
I returned my purchase for a refund.............Thanks AMAZON!!

Not very deep at all. -
This book covers guitars and amps very broadly. How to keep them clean and set them up, with some tips on how to deal with solder in order to do a change of pickups. It doesn't go much further than that. In the amps section it is again very broad. Safety procedures for dealing with your amp electronics and some different methods of biasing amps are presented. There is also some discussion of tubes, transistors, and fuses.
I found the layout and organization of the information to be needlessly confusing. There is SOME info in here that could be useful to you if you want to take good care of your instruments and don't know where to start.
Still, there's gotta be something better out there. That's why I'm only giving it two stars.
Good basics: NOT for solid state amps! -
First off, do not get this if you wish to repair a solid state amp. It has one page (62) and it has very little useful information. For me, it was not what I was hoping for.
Overall, the book has some great guitar maintenance and diagrams to give you some basic starting points. The price was inexpensive as books go. Some of the guitar wirings diagrams are a bit confusing as they are in black and white. The guitar diagrams vary from Fender to Gibson and others.
It has some good electronic diagrams in the back so you can get an idea about electrical schematics. There is a lot of tips for some visual repairs, too.
If you have a tube amp, this might be a better book for you. Either that or tube amps are designed to be fixed and solid stat one are designed to be tossed.
better than average -
A good to the point, beyond the basics help guide. Offers different suggestions to try. I,m not even a player and I just enjoyed reading it.
