101 Guitars That Rocked the World

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"A guitar nerd's dream... more than 700 photos of some of the most famous guitars in the world." - Alternative Press These are the guitars so famous that fans know their names: B.B. King's Lucille, Eric Clapton's Blackie, Stevie Ray Vaughan's First Wife, Billy F. Gibbons' Pearly Gates, Neil Young's Old Black, and many more. This is the first-ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music. Other guitar histories look at the rank-and-file models, but this book is unique in profiling the actual "star guitars"-the million-dollar babies, such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock, which sold at Sotheby's auction house in 1993 for $1,300,000. Musicians buy guitars to emulate the stars-Clapton's Strat, Slash's Les Paul-and this book explains the stars' modifications, showing how others can recreate those famous tones. "Aside from being a thoroughly captivating read, it's fully stocked with superb photos, tour posters, and artwork." - Guitar & Bass Magazine
