Review:

Dave Burrluck's book handles double duty: it's useful as a reference guide and it's an excellent coffee table book for the avid guitar freak...lists for $24.95, so I guess that means it pays for itself the first time you use it. Not bad. -- Cosmik Debris webzine, January 1999

Here is a new book geared to those without specialized repair skills...The illustrations are particularly effective in detailing the minute adjustments involved in intonation. These basic skills allow players to respond quickly to changing conditions during performance or recording instead of depending on visits to repair technicians. -- Library Journal, October 15, 1998

If you play electric guitar, you need this book. -- Guitar Player, May 1999

May be just what the Drs. Gibson and Fender ordered...a valuable tool in understanding how guitars work. -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, December 22, 1998
