Here`s what a few readers had to say:
- "... I didn`t know you `could` do that to your springs.."
- "I use the "ball system" of tuning that`s in that book, amazing way of tuning, works perfect"
- "Its a very informative read...I learned a ton just scanning through the book - I can`t wait to sit down and read it in depth...."
- "This book has taught me more in a few hours than I learned in 4 years of apprenticing 15 years ago - I don`t think most guys are even aware of these tuning tricks"
