Overview

Billy F Gibbons’ hot rods and custom car fixation is the stuff of rock ’n’ roll legend. Beyond this bona fide bluesman’s mastery of the six-string and his love for internal combustion, one discovers a noted collector whose designs have manifested in his cars and in hundreds of mind-bending custom guitars.

In Billy F Gibbons: Rock and Roll Gearhead, ZZ Top’s iconic ax man riffs on his teenage garageband years, his four-decade recording career, his experiences with icons like Jimi Hendrix and Chuck Berry and life on the road. He reveals the tales behind dozens of guitars from his collection that numbers more than 600. These include the famous "Furry One", the "Muddywood", constructed from a timber fallen from Muddy Waters’ childhood home and commissioned as a fundraiser for the Delta Blues Museum, and, of course, the crème de la crème, "Pearly Gates", his cherished musical companion.

Gibbons also gives the lowdown on 10 of his outstanding rods and customs, including Kopperhed, CadZZilla and the famous red Eliminator Coupe. In addition to exclusive photography by Bay Area shooter David Perry, the book features dozens of images from Gibbons’ personal archive.

As if that were not enough, this axe-man extraordinaire is a certified Grade Triple-A gearhead.
