An extravaganza for electric guitar lovers! This book features
hundreds of American-made guitars and basses from the '40s to the
'80s, including many rare brands and models. Read about the ups and
downs of major companies like Fender and Gibson, and trace their
variations in guitar design over the years. Learn more about
Harmony and Kay, the "big two" of budget guitars. In fact, this
book features many guitars that are often much harder to find on
the vintage market--the "everyman" guitars, the student and budget
models that got us started. Here you'll find fascinating
discussions of Valco, Peavey, Guild, Danelectro, and many others,
along with chapters devoted to "One-Shots" and "Sordid Seventies
Samples and Early Eighties Oddities." Guitar enthusiasts will find
not only the guitars they have dreamed of owning, but the ones they
first owned. An authoritative and entertaining text, a helpful
lexicon, gorgeous photographs, and foreword by .38 Special
guitarist Jeff Carlisi make this book a necessity for any
musician's library.
