This book not only covers electric guitar setups but also setups for acoustics, archtops, semi-acoustics and electric acoustics.This book is written for the guitar player who wants to avoid costly and time consuming trips the guitar shop buy teaching the player how to setup a guitar at home. This is not a book on the physics of sound, nor is a book which teaches you how to build a guitar. This book deals purely with guitar setups.Hideo Kamimoto writes in clear and simple language. The author does not oversimplify nor does he go into unnecessary detail about what needs to be taught.If you already know how to setup a guitar you do not need this book, however if you have never setup a guitar before this book will teach you how to do it step by step.As a guitarist myself, I was shocked by how easy it is to setup a guitar with Kamimoto's method.

Electric Guitar Setups by Hideo Kamimoto covers electric guitar, acoustic guitar, archtop style guitar, and other guitar setups. This is a setup book and not to be mistaken for a builder's guide. For a novice guitarist or forgetful repair person, this book provides a visual reference for many individule makes of guitars that need a good setup to provide the proper orientation of the parts of the guitar and allignment of it's componants. Mr. Kamimoto makes a guitar setup and fine tuning a much easier task than it would be without his help.

It's a nice book to have at my work table to keep my memory fresh for all those little adjustments I always put on my guitars. This book covers the needs of many guitar manufacturers and types of guitars for each manufacturer. A good book to have for setting relief, string height, pickup height, etc.

Basically despite all its pages the book can be summarized as follows: adjust the trus rod first, then the nut and then the bridge. It gives little more insight into the process. When the author does attempt to give more background, such as discussing string clearence etc, it is very poorly explained. Also most of the photographs are just of guitars and guitar hardware and don't really help explain anything.
