Book Description


Guitarists love guitars. Few own just one, and most are dreaming of their next acquisition. To help them out, here is the ultimate bucket list of guitars—plus guitar amps and various guitar effects—that aficionados must play.

Included are the classics, such as the great Fender guitars, the Stratocaster and Telecaster, and the stylish Gibson Les Paul. Included as well are the dream creations—masterpieces from D’Angelico and Gretsch. And then there are the weird guitars—the outrageous, rare, and so-strange-they’re-cool, and your beloved childhood guitar that you first learned on. Included as well are the guitar amps, from vintage to current, rare to essential, plus the stompboxes, foot pedals, and guitar effects that you simply have to take for a ride.

Each instrument is profiled along with a short description of its history, technical features, and what it’s like to play. Photographs and rare memorabilia add the crowning touch, making this the perfect impulse buy or giftbook for any and all guitarists.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This is a great resource for both the novice and the veteran guitarist. And it should be required reading for the serious guitartist who wants to improve their gear knowledge.” – Vintage Guitar

From the Inside Flap

No doubt about it . . . guitarists love their guitars, to the point of fetishizing them. Few own just one, and most are constantly dreaming of their next acquisition, whether it s attainable or purely a pipe dream. Now guitar journalist Dave Hunter brings enthusiasts the ultimate yearlong bucket list of not only guitars, but also amplifiers and effects that they absolutely must play.

From century-old classical guitars to the space-age Teuffel Birdfish, Hunter (Vintage Guitar and Guitar Player magazines) leaves no flight case unopened in his search for the sublime, the bizarre, and the outrageous. Classic midcentury jazz boxes, booming dreadnaughts, twangin Telecasters, country-picked hollowbodies, forward-looking Stratocasters, the rockin Les Paul, weird pawnshop specials they re all here, along with the scads of great tube-driven and solid-state pedals and amps they ve been run through over the decades.

Whether your tastes run classical or country, folk or metal, jazz or punk, there s something inside for you, expertly profiled by Hunter and illustrated with color photography of the instruments and rare memorabilia from the manufacturers and the stars associated with them.
