A stunning book profiling the 100 most exclusive, rare and seminal guitars ever made, with beautiful, exclusive photography.
The ultimate collection of 100 legendary guitars
From the beginnings of the American guitar in the 19th century to the avant-garde Canadian creations of a few months ago, from folk to electric to archtop; from the cheap guitar of the bluesmen of the 1960s to the Les Paul worth half a million dollars; all the instruments presented in this book are exceptional, whether it's because of their sound, their craftsmanship, the way they play, their aesthetics or the artists they inspired.
Julien Bitoun, musician and great specialist in the history of rock, has lovingly selected each of the instruments. He tells the story of their creation and the reasons they entered history.
Enough to make the most jaded collector pale or the most occasional enthusiast definitely addicted!
