From renowned guitarist and multi-Emmy-award winning composer,
Brian Tarquin, comes a display-quality, full-color reference guide
to guitars. The Guitar Encyclopedia begins with the history of
guitars spanning back to the birth of Epiphone by a Greek immigrant
and the great inventions of Les Paul, to the boom of the
Rock-'n-Roll-shredder days with Ibanez guitars and the futuristic
designs of the Gibson Moderne and the Randy Rhodes Polka Dot Flying
V. The book also contains interviews from guitar designers such as
Fender and Eastwood, as well as boutique companies such as Gander
and Specimen. A far cry from other dry schematic encyclopedias,
this book details the connections between different guitars and the
monumental recordings that they produced. With introductions by
Gary Hoey, Chris Poland (Megadeth), and Eric Shoaf (Vintage Guitar
magazine), this book provides a rich and unique account of iconic
guitars throughout history. Allworth Press, an imprint of Skyhorse
