The latest addition to Tony Bacon's acclaimed series of guitar books, 60 Years of Fender gives a year-by-year
history of the most successful electric guitar maker. In 1950, Leo Fender introduced to the world the solidbody electric guitar
- the instrument known as the Telecaster. He soon added two more classics: the Precision Bass (1951) and the Stratocaster
(1954). Fender's sleek, adaptable guitars have since fueled modern music - from country to rock - and have been heard in the
hands of virtually every guitarist of note, from Buddy Holly to Kurt Cobain, from Eric Clapton to John Mayer. Illustrated
with an unrivaled gallery of color photographs of instruments, players, and memorabilia, this revised and updated edition
expands upon 50 Years of Fender (published in 2000), covering nine more years of the Fender story.
