5.0 out of 5 stars
A most helpful book!,
By Richard Kregear (Granada Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classic Guitars U.S.A (Paperback)
As a newcomer to the vintage guitar craze, I found this to be the most helpful book I've found so far. Fun and interesting reading. Color pictures would have been nice, but the black and white ones will do. Most helpful to me was info on the smaller, lesser known makers, the overseas contracts, and what to look for and avoid. Good job!
