The ultimate guitar book - Tony Bacon

Imagine the Ultimate guitar collection - with examples of all the famous
legendary guitars you've ever dreamed of playing or owning.
Now
imagine having on hand an expert guide who can tell you everything you want to know about them - when they were made
who designed them
how they were built
and what makes them so special.
The Ultimate Guitar Book is just this.
It is a comprehensive
illustrated guide to the story of the modern guitar.
Featuring unique
specially commissioned photographs of over 450 rare and vintage guitars
it is packed with information on the construction details and design features that have made these instruments special
and it features in-depth explanations of why they are made the way they are and how this contributes to their particular sound or playability.
All the great guitars are here - including famous
traditional names
such as Martin
Fender
Gibson
Ramirez
Gretsch
Hofner
and Rickenbacker.
You'll also find coverage of the less well known
the obscure and the oddball - Burns
Hagstrom
Futurama
Bartolini
and Danelectro
to name but a few.
Many of the instruments appear here in book form for the very first time.
Most are from private collections
and many have a special "pedigree" and a fascination for the guitarist all of their own - for example
Andres Segovia's Hauser
Elvis Presley's Martin D-18
David Gilmour's Fender Broadcaster
George Harrison's Rickenbacker 12-string
Paul McCartney's Hofner Bass
and Les Paul's legendary "Log" prototype.
The Ultimate Guitar Book is quite simply the most beautiful book on the guitar ever produced; it is certain to become a definitive reference work on the subject - for every guitarist
beginner and advanced
amateur and professional.
