From renowned guitarist and music producer, Brian Tarquin, comes a display-quality, full-color reference guide to guitars. The Guitar Encyclopedia begins with the history of guitars spanning back to the birth of Epiphone by a Greek immigrant and the great inventions of Les Paul, to the boom of the Rock-‘n-Roll-shredder days where Ibanez guitars and the futuristic designs of the Synth Ax and MIDI guitars ruled the scene.

A far cry from other dry schematic encyclopedias, this book details the connections between different guitars and the monumental recordings that they produced, such as the Fender Tele played by Jimmy Page in early Led Zeppelin songs and the Gibson L5 guitar played by George Benson in his early days. With an introduction by Eric Shoaf (Vintage Guitar magazine), this book provides a rich and unique account of iconic guitars throughout history.
