This lavishly illustrated book includes electric guitars from the major manufacturers and includes great coverage of Fender and Gibson, in particular as well as Gretsch, Epiphone etc. There are quite a few photos of early electric guitars from the 30s and 40s. There is a section on Fender colors which is a treat since Fenders come in such a colorful variety (my own stratocaster is "daphne blue"). The book also includes photos of unique models that were introduced and then discontinued for lack of interest as well as custom models. The book isn't comprehensive, i.e, it does not cover the many stratocaster knockoffs including Fender's own Squier line. Still, for those interested in the development of the electric guitar, this is a great resource.
