(Book). The definitive history of the world's most famous 12-string
electric guitar. When the Byrds recorded their hit version of
Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man," they popularized a new sound in pop
music: the electric 12-string guitar. Rickenbacker is the guitar
maker that brought the electric 12-string to market and has since
been almost single-handedly responsible for establishing what such
a guitar should do. The California company gave one of its earliest
12-strings to George Harrison of the Beatles on the group's first
tour of the United States in 1964. He immediately used it live and
in the studio and showed off the sound of electric jangle to the
rest of the world. This book tells the story of those heady days in
the '60s, of the competitors who tried and failed to match the
sound, and of the instrument's continuing production by
Rickenbacker and use by many modern guitarists. Complete with
high-quality photos and exclusive interviews with many of the
12-string's leading players, this is the best guide yet to the
history of the sound of jingle-jangle.
