This texts is a great resource for anyone interested in the history of one of America's most beloved electric guitars. If you're a player or just a guitar enthusiast this book will keep you happy for hours. Plus it's chock full of sweet pictures.

For Gretsch enthusiasts, this book is a must. It is very concise (the actual text is 76 pages long and the remaining pages consist of interesting reference facts). However, the content is thorough and informative. The price disparity between vendors was a concern. I purchased mine in pristine shape for around $30 and some offers for the same book went for $200+! It is worth shopping around for the reasonable price of what I paid.
Own a piece of vintage Americana!

I bought my first Gretsch guitar about a year ago and fell in love with it. I was so enamored by the look and feel of it, I became a bit obsessed with Gretsches and soon after purchased a Gretsch White Falcon. The sections about Jimmy Webster and the inventive ideas he came up with were so fascinating I read the book 2 times in a few days. It was like reading about Q from James Bond, if Q was into guitar making! The back of the book contains a useful chart for gauging the age and origin of a lot of Gretsch models. The pictures were fantastic. I'll hang onto this book forever just based on the photos alone!

This book was received in the advertised condition. I am very pleased with this purchase and would definetely buy again from this seller.
