5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable Quality in all Respects (photos and text)!

R. · December 8, 2012

The author and publisher went to unbelievable lengths to produce this book! The quality of the photos, the subjects of the photos and the research are unparalleled. Fender did a great job of marketing their product throughout their history with unbelievable marketing and style and the author here utilizes that treasure trove and takes it many steps further. They've found some of the most pristine vintage pieces of Fender guitars, amps and accessories and brought them all together into a fantastic value of a book. The quality of info and photos here are the best of all my guitar book collection that I've pieced together in the last 25 years! I was so impressed I've purchased additional copies for friends with the same love of vintage Fender. The best value in any book I own and it features the iconic Fender line. Don't miss this opportunity!

Makes a great gift to anyone who loves guitars and is a great coffee table book too!!! If you lover Fender guitars then get this book!!Checkout the photos that I added of this book!!!

For anyone who has owned a Fender, here are tons of photos and facts on these great guitars and amps, dating from the start. This book makes a good reference for those of us who still comb flea markets and yard sales for the old stuff. The book covers everything Fender made, acoustic guitars, lap steel, electric mandolin. There is a regular index, plus a very comprehensive index of Fender equipment, with reference to the page on which each appears. There are plenty of old ads - these help in identifying equipment as well. This book evidences the author's great love of the subject, and I would recommend it for players and collectors alike.

C.N.A. · June 3, 2019

If you dig Fender guitars this is the book for you. I may even go so far as to say this is probably the best guitar book I own and I have quite a few. Beautifully put together with great photography and stunning use of period literature. The text is super informative, historically accurate but never gets too high brow or dull. A lot of care and attention has gone into producing this book and it represents great value for money too. Five out of five!!

It goes without saying that there are few people on the planet that know more about the Golden Age of Fender more than Terry Foster and his fellow authors. This book is not only incredibly well written and informative, but has incredible photographs. The quality of the print and paper is also exceptional. I've enjoyed both reading this book as well as looking at all of the pictures. It's probably as close as I'll ever get to experiencing some of these incredible amps and guitars.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have

B.D. · April 5, 2013

While it covers the amps, slides and other legendary Fender products; this book is mainly about the guitars. Gorgeous pictures that will make you sweat with desire and will leave you with a fever. There is also text, and don't get me wrong; it looks like perfectly readable, interesting text with perfectly decent information. In English, even. I think. but who cares, just look at those pictures and pass out .Also, this is the mini edition, wich means that it's slightly smaller than your average coffee table book. It's sized like a hardcover novel, and you could still wack somebody over the head good with it. The words are printed somewhat small, but I didn't need my reading glasses. Maybe because I haven't read a single word yet, I just perused the pictures while filling the pages with drool.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must have

J.I. · May 20, 2010

This is a stunning compilation, as comfortable on a research shelf as on a coffee table. It doesn't just cover the history of Fender in words and dates, but through amazing photography which brings to life the ascent of Fender from humble beginnings to an American icon. This book is thoroughly researched, and the photographs of amazing vintage instruments are top notch and highly artistic. The authors feature arguably the best examples of vintage Fender gear in the world, and the photos are jaw dropping. The authors go to great lengths to examine Fender and its products in the wider cultural context of what was happening in music at the time, and it is filled with great anecdotes and quotes from well known artists. This is a perfect book for vintage gear enthusiasts as well as anyone interested in mid-20th century design, advertising or pop culture history.
