What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Book plus online audio and video
Procedures you can watch rather than only read, which matters for fret and nut work.
Detail 03
Online media access
Requires internet and a redemption code from the book rather than a disc in the package.
Detail 04
Guitar-specific scope
Written around guitar construction and hardware, not bass, orchestral or keyboard instruments.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No tools included — files, wrenches and gauges are separate purchases
- 02Online video needs the code inside the book; check it is unused if buying used
- 03Some procedures are irreversible on the instrument if done wrong
