Whats The Best Guitar Maintenance and Repair Book?

[Chewy5150]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for a good Maintenance and Repair book to have around to I don't have to pop on the computer to research all the time while adjusting my guitars.

If it specifically deals with floating trems, extended range guitars, and is spiral bound that'd a plus!

Guitar Player Repair Guide by Dan Erlewine.

It's not specifically about extended range guitars, nor is it spiral bound, but I doubt you'll find a book with either. You can probably take the book to a local printer and have them spiral bind it for a couple of dollars, though (I've done this before).

I have this one, and I think it's pretty good, https://www.amazon.com/dp/0879309210/?tag=sevenstringorg-20

Add this to the myriad of youtube videos from guitar luthiers, StewMac, where you could also get the specialized tools, then you're covered.

Must be good, you recommended the same book twice

^ I didn't see tedtan's response. It's what I have, I have the older edition, no dvd, but still worth it.

For extended range guitars I can't really think of anything that would need to be different.

The sole exception being guitars with two Truss Rods - and really, you can take tips from bass luthiers there.
