The Les Paul Manual: Buying, Maintaining, Repairing, and Customizing Your Gibson and Epiphone Les Paul Paperback – December 15, 2015

The Book is more then a Manual, And it give you all the history. .... I rated it as a 6 Stars because of the full colored Pictures, and explains each part of the process..... I build my first Electric Guitar, and IF had had this book it would have saved me a lot of time, and I would have made a better Guitar....... It Does not cover any repairs on the body or outward modifications...... Remember This is Not a Book "BUT AN INVESTMENT." Thank-you Amazon

A really interesting read for fans of the Les Paul. Good information for Luthiers.

Really outstanding book! Lots of things to learn here and just about everything you need to know about modding, buying, and maintaining your Les Paul.

Love this book. Covers everything you need to know about your Les Paul. Buy this book! You'll be glad you did!

Everything you need to know about Les Paul type models. Interesting to read, not dry at all.

Love it, if you own a Les Paul by Gibson or Epiphone you will want this.

Purchased for friend. Understand it goes above and beyond what was expected.

This book is ok. Much of the information relates to any electric guitar. What I mean is that there are sections on re-stringing, changing jacks, changing pickups, etc. These topics are not Les Paul specific, and they make up the majority of the book. The best part for me is in the back where it explains some of the rationale behind the serial numbering. Although, if you read the section for the late 70s where it tries to explain how to determine whether a guitar came from Kalamzoo or Nashiville, the formula they give to use with their examples doesn't work the way they describe. There are better books on Les Pauls out there.

Importante fonte de consulta, utilizado junto com o livro do Dan Erlewine.

Super book Very complete and full of tricks.

Fantastico, anche per chi conosce poco l'inglese. Molto esaustivo con immagini a colori. Avrei dato 10 stelle se ci fosse anche in italiano

This Book is a must for any Les Paul afficinado! Very good structure, top notch Information and excellent pictures.Even if you do not intend to do the described alterations you will certainly appreciate the work of your guitar tech who does the maintenance.

I bought this on a whim as I already owned the Haynes Les Paul book and I am so glad I did. This book covers everything you could possibly ever want to know about the Gibson & Epi LP's, including the history of the companies and full details and guides of maintenaning, repairing and modding just about every aspect of the guitar. It's a book you can read and enjoy and not just something to reach for when you need help with maintenance. Highly recommended.
