Kent Everett has a really good one from a class he taught at Red Rocks College. I'm not sure where to get it but maybe someone else knows.

I got this one too and thought it was well worth it. Helped me to better understand what I've been trying to do to my own guitars for years. Also made it a lot easier to understand the conversations here.

Get it at LMI

I was in the class, and it was awesome. Really helpful, and a true step by step approach that has worked for over 30 years. Can't go wrong here. You can also by it from Apprenticepublishing.com http://apprenticepublishing.com/

It's video, not still pics + voice over. I've found it very helpful and worth the $$.
