He will send you the book in a Efile.
I made a Frankenstrat with it.
I liked the info on how long the wait between wet sanding....what grit to use...etc....
VERY good tool if your not to familiar with laying the graphics etc. Learned alot from it.

I was able to get this killer high gloss clear following his book. I never did ANY painting before and I did this no problem. All I did was spray several coats of Spray Max 2k High Gloss Clearcoat Aerosol, wet sand it with 600-2500 grit sandpaper and then use 3M Perfect-It ll Rubbing Compound Fine Cut and Swirl Remover over the sanded high gloss. Here is the result:

Please note that I did not paint that white/black zebra pattern and logo and everything - it is just a vinyl decal that I had made by John that I applied and did all the clear coating on top of. It would be just as easy to do that nice clear coat on top of well executed paint...

Funny thing is I tried to paint the body and could not - even though I used recommended paint, it kept cracking. Funny enough - John Glenieki - the guy that wrote the book is a neighbor of mine. He tried to help me, but the paint kept cracking on him too... It was crazy. I finally just let a pro paint the body, but I did do the headstock...
