Guitar Questions: The Novice's Guide To Guitar Repairs

This book is comprised of reprints of the "Guitar Questions" columns that ran in Guitar magazine for over a decade. Written by luthier Barry Lipman, it offers clear, precise and simple explanations on how to make minor repairs and adjustments to your instrument. The column was aimed at players who were neither guitar builders nor repairmen. Sample questions addressed include: What are the advantages of big frets? * What is the best way to care for the fretboard? * What is meant by "intonation" and what is involved in adjusting it? * What does a truss rod do and how does it work? * How tight should the bridge pins be on a steel-string acoustic? Find the answers to these and many more relevant inquiries in Guitar Questions. 6 inch. x 9 inch.
