Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need tools to use this book?
Yes, and none are included. Setup work needs hex keys, screwdrivers and a measuring rule at minimum.
02Is this for beginners?
It is written for self-study, so no prior repair experience is assumed. You should be comfortable handling your own guitar.
03Will this cover my guitar?
It addresses guitar repair and maintenance generally. Model-specific hardware and adjustment points still vary by instrument.
04Can I save money doing my own setups?
Yes. Setups are a recurring shop charge, and at $12.99 the book costs less than one visit.
