Why buy them
Stop guessing. Start maintaining.
A single luthier visit costs more than both guides. These booklets give you the routines, the measurements, and the judgment calls that keep a guitar playing right — including when a problem genuinely belongs on a pro's bench.

Common questions
What format are the guides?
Two PDF booklets — 13 pages for the electric, 11 for the acoustic — sized for reading on any screen or printing at home. Download right after purchase; they're yours forever.
Are the guides suitable for beginners?
Yes. Every procedure starts from zero — no prior maintenance experience needed. Experienced players get the spec tables and troubleshooting charts they wish they'd had years ago.
What's the difference between the electric and acoustic guides?
The electric guide covers finish-safe cleaning, full DIY setup (truss rod, action, intonation, pickup height), and electronics care. The acoustic guide focuses on humidity management, structural inspection, and the saddle/action decisions unique to acoustics.
Do I get updates?
Bundle buyers get free access to future editions of both guides.
