Description

Celebrate the significance, the magic, and the mojo of the world’s most seductive instrument. An obsessive, full-color book presented in an irresistible slipcase, Guitar features 200 instruments in stunning detail. Here are icons, like Prince’s Yellow Cloud, Willie Nelson’s “Trigger,” Muddy Water’s Thunderbird, and “Rocky,” lovingly hand-painted by its owner, George Harrison. Historic instruments—Fender’s Broadcaster, Les Paul’s “Log,” the Gibson Nick Lucas Special, the very first artist model. Hand-carved archtops, pinnacles of the luthier’s art, from John D’Angelico to Ken Parker. Stunning acoustics from a new wave of women builders, like Rosie Heydenrych of England, who’s known to use 5,000-year-old wood retrieved from a peat bog. And quirky one-of-a-kind guitars, like Linda Manzer’s Pikasso II—four necks, 42 strings, and a thousand pounds of pressure. Marrying pure visual pleasure with layers of information, Guitar is a glorious gift for every guitar-lover Read more

  • A truly beautiful book
This book is beautifully designed and made. The pictures are excellent and the wide variety of guitars and guitar-like instruments I find quite engaging. And, it's just plain fun to look at and read!

  • A Wonderful Book For Any Guitar Enthusiast!
This is by far the best celebration of guitar history I’ve ever seen in print. The pictures of the guitars and their stories are wonderful; However, there is only one frontal photo of each subject guitar. It would have been an additional treat if the author would have included photos of the instrument backs as well. There are some gorgeous woods (and luthier artwork) to be appreciated in most of these guitars. ... show more

  • Husband loves it.
This book definitely was a surprise on Christmas morning!! My husband is not a big reader but he is a retired guitarist. He knows about guitars and who plays what. It's definitely packaged very well. I find myself taking it out and seeing the beautiful pictures and stories.
