The Fender Book/a Complete History of Fender Electric Guitars by Paul Day, Tony Bacon (1992, Hardcover, Illustrated)

I purchased the History of Fender Electric Guitars as a Christmas present for a guitar enthusiast friend of mine. We both play guitar and he's a smart guy, one of those reading type of people. I like the detail of the write ups and they are correct in saying it is the complete history. They include schematics and fully detailed write ups, drawings, and photographs. It is a great hardbound book and is ideal for coffee table discussion starters. It's also a great way to research certain instruments and their production era. My only "dislike" and it's not so much a dislike but a "would rather", is I would rather have the book be a bit larger- not so much for the print but the layout and pictures could have been more detailed and eye-catching. All in all I was extremely satisfied with the purchase and moreover the person I purchased it for was excited to have it.
