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