Repair Book

Sign in to disble this ad
I've been working on guitars for as long as I can remember. I know how and am pretty proficient at setups and light maintenance. However, lately I have been buying older, used, and abused instruments to bring back to life.

This brings me to my question, is there a book that you would highly recommend that covers some of the more intricate repairs?

Right now I am finishing up a Jackson bass. On deck is a Schecter with chips in it's translucent red finish. I would need a book that would help me match the finish to make it beautiful again.

I'd also like to learn more about finishing bridges, tailpeices and nuts.

Any help in finding a book that goes pretty in-depth with subjects like that would really help me out.
