3.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing
The book is quite superficial, filled with generalizations and opinion presented as fact. The writing is dull and stale. Its redeeming quality is that there is some interesting history documenting some early artists I did not know.

The most complete!,
This review is from: The Electric Guitar: A History of an American Icon (Hardcover)
It's a very good book because it's not the history of the guitar it self, but all the context and the changes in the american culture that this product generate.
I'm doing my graduation work in eletric guitar design, so I recomend this one for those who wants deeper information about the creation of the eletric guitar.
