Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
YA?Over 500 excellent-quality, full-color photographs of electric guitars and basses make this companion piece to Acoustic Guitars and Other Fretted Instruments (1993) an absolute stunner. Chronologically arranged, the beautifully focused portraits are accompanied by a brief description of each instrument, its unique features, and its history. The first section, "Electric Roots: 1932 to World War II," includes the Hawaiians and Spanish-necks, and is followed by "Branches of the Electric Family, 1947 to the 1990s," featuring full-depth hollowbodies, solidbodies, and thinbodies. Photographers, artists, and music fans will find this book hard to put down.?Pat Royal, Crossland High School, Camp Springs, MD

Vintage guitar experts Gruhn and Carter (Gruhn's Guide to Vintage Guitars, Miller Freeman, 1991) take readers on a spectacular photographic journey, with more than 500 full-color photos depicting the entire evolution of the American electric guitar from its birth in 1935 to the present. Starting with the guitar's electric roots, Part 1 depicts the unique Hawaiian and "Spanish neck" electric models, first developed between 1932 and World War II. Part 2 traces the electric family's growth from 1947 to the 1990s, with the development of the full-depth hollowbody, solidbody, and thinline models. The color photographs are accompanied by descriptive text and detailed captions that identify and date each instrument and describe its technical, aesthetic, and historical significance. Both parts provide historical overviews of the electric guitars of the period followed by in-depth discussions of each manufacturer. Highly recommended for music libraries and research libraries as well as larger public libraries.
