Book Review: Classic Electrics - A Visual History of Great Guitars

November 21, 2008 by Mike Newman ·

We’re nearing Holiday shopping time again and I’ve come across a perfect stocking stuffer gift for your favorite little rocker. Jawbone Press brings you Walter Carter’s Classic Electrics – A Visual History of Great Guitars and it’s sure to please the gear-head axe-grinder in your life …or perhaps that’s you!

From Bruce Springsteen’s Telecaster to Brian May’s signature Guild and from Eddie Cochran’s Gretsch 6120 to Strawberry Alarm Clock’s custom-made green skateboard cutout Mosrite (yeah, you have to see it to believe it!), Classic Electrics is pure eye-candy for electric guitar geeks. There are over 350 guitars represented in the book and they all have brilliant photos and informative text, and some with period brochure reproductions and promotional shots. Perfect coffee table fodder and rock conversation starter. Read more
