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.
