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 have the Guitar Repair Guide and it is great. Don't have the first book.

Dan is the man. I don't have either book, but I constantly hear good recommendations on another forum.

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.)

If so - I saw it a couple of weeks ago and it is just incredible !!!

Haven't seen the one on nut making, but I know he does have one out there- so probably him. Usually pretty good stuff.

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.

That's it then! Yeah- I've got the Maintenance & Setup for electrics 1 & 2. Impluse buy from Stewmac a few orders ago ... pretty good, but pretty basic stuff.
