I bought this book last year when it came out in hardback. This is the best book of it's kind that I've seen out there. The new paperback 2nd edition should be in the reference library of every guitar/amp tech on the planet...especially at half the hardback price with 100+ extra pages. You don't have to be a math major to get through this book. While there are some functions/equations describing performance characteristics and design, what you mainly get from this book is a reference to understanding the how and why of the electronics related to guitars. It's written with enough detail for the electrical engineer in me, but isn't so bogged down in theory as to take away from it's focus...understanding guitar electronics...and all in one place. It's like one long "App Note" for guitar lovers. And this book isn't just for guitar techs. Guitarists who want to understand what's going on with their tone and make informed decisions on sound sculpturing would do well to comb through it's pages. Don't look for any digital stuff here, though. It's analog electronics in all it's tonal splendor.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Electronics for Guitarists" are high quality item.
