i havent seen a topic for this but i guess it would fall under technical so people should show there mods on here and ask questions about setup on there guitar and repairs and stuff i dont relly know to much about repair and stuff but it would be good if people would help each other out

I've got a couple of good books on the subject I'll try to get them up as soon as I get time to scan them :wink:

Very cool smokinjoe, i am looking forward to those

I found this in the old forum: Guitars, Design, Production and Repair by Jim Donahue. Posted by JohnSON it looks pretty good, i've only had time to look thru it fast.

Maybe you can ask him to post it here too.

great topic. I need to learn more about setups too

I'll repost the two books I have got from other forum
Guitars, Design, Production and Repair by Jim Donahue and
Building electric guitars by Martin Koch

Cool smokinjoe, much appreciated thank you

I recommend this link:
:code: h**p://rapidshare.de/files/5964919/Building_Electric_Guitars.pdf.html

Pages 206 to 214 (Guitar Set-Up) should clarify almost all your queries on guitar set-up.

Good luck and thanks to JohnSON. I took this link from one of his posts on another board.

In addition. Many thanks to the author Martin Koch. Great knowledge.

the is a DVD by Dan Earlwine on guitar setup and repair....I only saw a brief portion but it looked really good....when I get 25 posts I make a request....or if anyone else sees it....dont hesitate to post it

ill keep an eye out for some setup books but wont be able to scan for a little while until i get my scanner going

This will be intersting!

nice book! anyone has a book on modding effect pedals?

I've got a semi-acoustic and a 12-string that are both desperately in need of attention. I was considering paying for them to be setup properly but i figure in the long run its better if i learn how to do it myself.

If anyone has any experience or knowledge or resources they can share that would be great =]

hi.. i need to do a repaint job to my old guitar. I was wondering if there is any book about this subject...
Other thing... anyone had tried the fretwave system, or the buzz feiten system?...

For general set up info I use this site a lot. Good info. Not a lot of pages to flip through if all you want is the bare bones info.

I saw on Ebay, I believe, a guitar setup tape from Wayne Charvel. That guiy is one of the greatest luthiers out there.

I have found this site useful for mods, don't know if its been mentioned before

I've done the shielding one on a cheap strat and it worked pretty well (in that there was a lot less hum) , (with a few soldering mishaps on the way, but I learnt quickly). Hope you can get some good info from this site as well.

all great links
Thanks guys !

I´m currently building my first custom made bass guitar. It´s really great experiene wise. I have a couple of books I´ll try to scan them and upload them when I can access to the direct dowload section again.

Sorry about the giantic pic

Is this your finished product?

Can't wait to see it evolve
