Recommend me a good book on guitar setup

Is it worth it to get the first two of the list? Do they cover different topics or is one the updated version of the other?

Thank you for the info! :)
 
I'm with WD, get the repair book worth it's weight in gold!!!!!

He's also got a few guitar setup/repair DVDs on Stewmac. I have 'em, they're not bad. (Though I prefer the book - it covers more topics like finishing repair, etc.)
 
Haven't seen the one on nut making, but I know he does have one out there- so probably him. Usually pretty good stuff.
 
thanks for the link i just order this book..

glade someone ask the question, i was just thinking today to wounder what a good book is....

thanks Monster
 
There's tons of great info floating around the net. But if you want a hard copy, go with

1. Guitar Player Repair Guide by Dan Erlewine
2. Electric Guitar Setups or Complete Guitar Repair both by Hideo Kamimoto
 
The Guitar Repair Guide is awesome. I still pull it out for reference. At Stewmac, Dan has many books on specific topics. I have the fretting book and the finish book.
