Title: The Ultimate Guitar Book by Tony Bacon ISBN: 0-375-70090-0 Publisher: Knopf Pub. Date: 15 October, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $27.95 |

Summary: A joy to read and look at.
Comment: I bought this book because I liked the first part of "The Complete Guitarist" book where the history and dissection of the guitar is shown.
This book is full of pictures and descriptions of a lot of guitars. The book is divided by guitar type, from acoustic, archtop, solid-body electics, semi-solid electrics and basses. The descrptions are short and give way to the pictures, but the guitars that demand, by respect, more description are given more pages.
The guitars shown are from all over the world and thus aren't limited to a specific market. Its cool to see how a russian guitar is made.
The only thing I would have liked is a timeline, but the book isn't formatted this way and its fine.
All in all a very fun book to have. No theory, nothing to tell you "practice damn it!", just enjoy.

Summary: Great coffee table book
Comment: The pictures are beautiful.
I was hoping for a bit more detailed history on all the instruments, but it does provide a good overview of the history.
The high quality pictures are a sight to behold. This is a great coffee table book.

Summary: The pictures make the book.
Comment: If you were to never read one word of the text of Mr. Bacon's fine book, it would still be worth the cost. Encased between the two covers are some of the finest photos of guitars you'll ever lay your eyes on. Not only are there pictures of your "standard" American-made guitars (Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker), but also "axes" from around the world. Bacon has also included some interesting and unusual guitars as well. This is a book that you will go back to over-and-over; it's that interesting.
