No other reference like it.,
By Phyllis Herring (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Guitars Revised Edition: Illustrated History, an (Paperback)
This is my second copy having bought the first edition in the 80's. Finally I have a copy with the color plates! Anyway, if you're a fan of the guitar you have to have this book. If there's anything "wrong" with it, it is that it is now ten years old and I hope Tom Wheeler has plans for a new, 2002, update. I'd buy that one too! I also hope he gets around to mentioning Kustom guitars from the late sixties ( he hasn't so far) and I thought they looked cool back then.

One of the Top 10 Guitar Books,
By "mrmoman" (Columbia, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Guitars Revised Edition: Illustrated History, an (Paperback)
This book has got to be one of the top 10 guitar books on the market today. It covers all the major and lesser known U.S. guitar makers from A to Z, including history, models, specs, biographical info, and more. The sections on such well-known brands as Epiphone, Fender, Gibson, Gretsch and Rickenbacker are particularly interesting. With hundreds of great photos throughout, this book is one of the most comprehensive and well-written books available--a must for all guitar lovers.

Essential guide for the guitar collector or hobbyist,
By Guitar Man (Electric Ladyland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Guitars Revised Edition: Illustrated History, an (Paperback)
This book was given to me as a gift. I have referred to it often to answer questions for others, and just to learn about various guitars that I've had interest in. It's like taking a trip to a great guitar store to look at a huge stock of new and vintage guitars. If only I could reach into the pages and actually play each guitar...I would be in heaven.Indispensible tool for all guitar collectors or hobbyists.
