"2,000 guitars is a comprehensive visual and historical guide to that most lusted-after of instruments: the guitar. Compiled by a team of experts from the United States and the UK, it covers everything from early acoustic, classical, and resonator guitars through the hollowbody instruments of the jazz age, the celebrated solid and semi-solid model of the 1950s and 1960s, right up to cutting-edge modern-day electric, acoustic and bass guitars."--Back cover

These are the guitars so famous that their names are often household words: B. B. King's Lucille, Eric Clapton's Blackie, Stevie Ray Vaughan's First Wife, Billy F Gibbons' Pearly Gates, Neil Young's Old Black, and many more. Here's the first-ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music. Other best-selling guitar histories look at the rank-and-file models, but this book is unique in profiling the actual "star guitars"--the million-dollar babies, such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock, which sold at Sotheby's auction house in 1993 for $1,300,000. Amateurs buy guitars to emulate the stars--Clapton's Strat, Slash's Les Paul--and this book explains the stars' modifications, thus showing how others can recreate those famous tones.
