4.0 out of 5 stars pictorial electric guitar history, August 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Classic Electrics A Visual History Of Great Guitars (Paperback)
This is an enjoyable pictorial history divided into Solid-Bodies and Hollow-Bodies. Each picture includes a short description of the instrument, what year the pictured guitar was built and a time-frame of production. I wouldn't say the descriptions are a thorough piece-by-piece explanation of construction, but highlights of each instrument. I would have given it 5 stars if it would have had more detail in the descriptions. Overall, It's a book fans of electric guitar will enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Classic Electrics: A Visual History of Great Guitars, June 22, 2010
By 
Dan O (SPRINGFIELD, OREGON, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Classic Electrics A Visual History Of Great Guitars (Paperback)
This book has the right idea but not enough about imported guitars. It is great for photo identification but no price guide is included. If you love guitars you will like this book but don't count on having the one you probably have in your closet in it.
