I hope this is the right forum to ask this question. I am brand new here and for the time being I think that I am mainly interested in learning more about set up and repair. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Greg Voros DVD set? I know that is probably not the preferred method of learning. I did take a great one on one class last year and just want to have something for a kind of refresher and maybe to pick up some new tips. If anyone knows of any good courses in the MA or NJ areas, that might be helpful too.

Thanks

Sorry, I am not familiar with Voros. For what it's worth, I have the Kent Everett setup dvd and liked it. No repair, strictly setup.

I'm not familiar with Voros either, but I purchased a number of Dan Erlewine's repair videos from stew mac when I was just getting into guitar building/repair. I found the information very helpful. Dan's repair book are also a valuable tools to have on hand as a reference.

I found Erlewine's book at my local library.
