Almost great...not quite there,
By M.S. Hennessy (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hal Leonard The Fender Stratocaster (Paperback)
This book is very detailed in the history of the Stratocaster and has some good historical information about Fender and CBS. Great detail for learning how to date a Stratocaster (especially for those novices looking to buy on Ebay). The information is chronologically presented and the text formatting is inconsistent. The b&w photos are printed poorly.This book is in serious need of an update (it references through Stratocasters manufactured in 1993). There is also a purist approach to not consider Fender's 2nd line (the Squier Brand) which has (in some people's opinions), higher quality than what carried the Fender name (at least in the mid-80's). In the absence of a better publication, I highly recommend this book.

A great reference on Strats,
This review is from: Hal Leonard The Fender Stratocaster (Paperback)
This little book is one of the best references I have ever come across for the Stratocaster. It goes into a good level of detail regarding the history of this great guitar and how it has changed over time. I found the section on dating Strats especially useful. I have referenced the book quite a bit in describing what I wanted on my Custom Strat. The only drawbacks would be some of the formatting of the text (no biggie) and many of the b/w photos would be more effective in color. If you are a Fender fan and/or a gear-head, I would highly recommend this book and Duchossoir's Telecaster book.
