Editorial Reviews

Product Description
To mark the 60th anniversary of Fender, Backbeat's introduced a new, completely revised third edition of this bestseller. Fender guitars have long been the instruments of choice for artists such as Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. This book tells the complete story of Fender guitars, detailing classics such as the Telecaster, Stratocaster and Jazzmaster as well as lesser-known models. Dozens of photos reveal Fender's storied craftsmanship, while the text includes collector details for all models. The reference section lists all models and their statistics. This new edition has been refreshed and updated, with 56 extra pages and over 60 new photographs. The main text has added material and has been brought up to date to cover Fender's ever-changing history amid the fascinating developments for the company and its instruments during the eight years since the previous edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fender Electric Guitar Book Complete history of Fender Instruments, July 2, 2008
By D. Daws (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book for those of us Guitar nerds who love Fender instruments. It duplicates the history of the Telecaster somewhat and the Telecaster History has a bit more helpful stuff on dating of Telecasters. I would liked a bit more information about the staff in the pre-CBS years (who were these people who were signing the neck and bodies of the old Teles), the methods of production (were they effectively hand built) and levels of production generally year by year. If you are thinking of buying a vintage Tele or Strat you should definately buy this book along with Gruhn's guide to Vintage Guitars. Even if you are not then its an interesting read.
