Star Guitars: 101 Guitars That Rocked the World
“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
