The text is insightful and the pictures are beautiful. However, most real fanatics will want more than the usual stuff that is regularly covered in guitar magazines.

The text is insightful and the pictures are beautiful.

This review is from: Gibson Electric Guitar Book - Seventy Years of Classic Guitars (Softcover) (Paperback)
This book is a must read for any electric guitar fanatic, required reading for any Gibson fans. Not only does it take you through the ups and downs, trials and tribulations, innovations and failures of this storied stringed instrument company, it puts all that within the historical perspective of what was going on at Gibson's major competitors at the time, Fender chief among them. Clearly Carter, once historian for Gibson, knows wherefore he speaks. And the photos of Gibson electric guitars as they morph through their history is worth the price of the book. Loved it.
