Book re: Guitar set-up, maintenance, etc.

[mikeh]

Can anyone recommend a book that gives clear, relatively simple information on set-up, intonation, adjusting truss rods, maybe changing pick-ups, etc. ????

I'm a drummer who has been woodshedn' like crazy to get my guitar chops where I want them to be - and in the process have started to acquire a few axes. I feel "mighty strong" that a player needs to know how to work on thier gear.

I try to pick up info here and there - but I would like to have a "tech. manual" in hand - one that a relative novice can use.

I'm sure I would start to work on one of the cheaper guitars (Charvel "Strat" Copy or Yamaha Pacifica) before I tried to mess with my SG (my personal "baby").

I know there are some very wise axe slingers that log in - so I'm guessing some people have good books they can suggest.

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

There's a boat load of info for free on the net. The basic tools you need are a screwdriver, allen head wrench, ruler and a nice electronic tuner...
