    If you haven't checked this tome out, do.

    Think of it as informative porn. :P

    Nice thread!

    Some more good reading books!

    This is a great repair guide. In fact there are some great articles on how to install various bridges as well as a ton of "how to do stuff". A must have for any builder or person interested in repairing their own guitars.

    The first books contains some great idea's and "how to's" to really set up your guitar to play great.

    The second is a must have for anyone wanting to do scratch builds where they design their own guitar. For anyone wanting to know the science behind the workings and positioning of pickups, etc. this is a great book!

    The first book is another in the series of StewMac books! This is all about finishing. Regrettably written before Wudtone's arrival on the market, but there are some great ideas on all other methods of finishing. Over 40 colour recipe's and bursts!

    The second book is more about finishing wood but contains some really good information that will educate and assist you to get great results on your guitars.

    Great collection of books on wiring and pickups. A must have if you plan on upgrading pickups or modifying wiring.
