I did receive a number of instruments to look at, setup and restore, amongst them, this lute. The nut is broken and there is a big crack in the soundboard ,from one side, all the way to , or maybe eve...

This book starts with the absolute basics and then builds into pretty much everything you need to know re guitar wiring - how the bits work, what to do if they don't work, designing circuits, et al. ...
