This is the first hands-on how-to manual devoted to acoustic guitars. This guidebook shows owners and dreamers the basics of selecting and buying acoustic guitars; performing maintenance and repairs like tuning, setting intonation, doing fret repairs, adjusting bridges and nuts, and troubleshooting; doing spur-of-the-moment stage-side fixes; and adding some basic "performance" enhancements like aftermarket pickups and more.

Paul Balmer, who has written six Haynes Manuals about guitars, is the son of dance band drummer Bill Balmer. Paul played drums from the age of 11 in the Merseybeat boom of the 1960s. He built his own kit from bits and pieces and, having no other option, did his own maintenance. His perfectly preserved 1964 Premier kit will be examined and maintained as a case study. His father’s ‘bitsa’ 1940s dance band kit will provide a useful historical reference. Paul lives in Northamptonshire.
