Star Guitars: 101 Guitars That Rocked the World

Star Guitars: 101 Guitars That Rocked the World

These are the guitars so famous that their names are often household words: B. B. Kingâ€™s Lucille, Eric Claptonâ€™s Blackie, Stevie Ray Vaughanâ€™s First Wife, Billy F Gibbonsâ€™ Pearly Gates, Neil Youngâ€™s Old Black, and many more. Hereâ€™s the first-ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Other best-selling guitar histories look at the rank-and-file models, but this book is unique in profiling the actual â€œstar guitarsâ€â€”the million-dollar babies, such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock, which sold at Sothebyâ€™s auction house in 1993 for $1,300,000. Amateurs buy guitars to emulate the starsâ€”Claptonâ€™s Strat, Slashâ€™s Les Paulâ€”and this book explains the starsâ€™ modifications, thus showing how others can recreate those famous tones.
