"Hello, I bought your book Building Electric Guitars (PDF-version) weeks ago, I want to congratulate you it is a wonderful book with many detailed topics very usefull for a
beginner like me. I made a fret dressing on my current Yamaha Pacifica 112 because one fret
was under the others (too many bends in the same tone of A ! ) I built your
home made fret leveling file, it was very useful. I am happy with the
result, now I set the neck relief ... I am on the way to build my own electric solid body guitar, I ordered a
neck (finished!) but I will build the body (wood and parts ordered) sure I
will read your book more and more. Regards from France
