I am do to be laided up for around 5-6 weeks and would like some suggestions for good books that cover guitar electronics. My only stipulation on the suggestions is that the books be available. I've seen one or two that looked good but they were out of print and ran around $100 each. OUCH! thanks in advance. Phill

Um, this forum is a pretty (read "very") good place to learn. There's an awful lot of experience floating around here, and it's interactive and free!! Onto a winner I'd say

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
I must admit that I am or can be a little impatient when I am in the middle of doing a project. It must have to do with the compulsive additive behavior that was and is evident of the boomer generation the instant gratification from the sex drugs and rock and roll of the 60's. I must admit it was not so much the sex but all the drugs and the peloria of rock and roll concerts and the ability to run down and buy some vinyl disks of your favorite guitar hero's.
So the info in hand works better for me. thanks again and please keep the suggestions coming for the books, sites and other resources. Phill

Craig is the patron saint of guitar modders and hotrodders. His work is absolute gold, and I'll be using a lot of projects from that very book in my Utah. One thing about Brosnac's book . . . a lot of it is outdated and old because he decided to pretty much create what was a useful guide for pickup installation for the various pickups that were available at the time it was published (1983), but now not only are a lot of those pickups and gadgets not available, neither are the manufacturers who made them. The book is almost a quarter century old and a lot of the product specific info (which holds the lion's share of the content) is grossly outdated or altogether obsolete. While checking on this book, I discovered this review from Amazon which I thought to be accurate. (Edited to increase size of quotes, for legibility!)
