The Stratocaster Chronicles: Celebrating 50 Years of Fender Strat (Hardcover

Very good reading

I look forward to reading this book

Excellent informative book on the Fender Stratocaster.

Delivered on time. Book looks good and of quality. Very pleased .

Beautiful book. The layout design, choice of archive photos, specially commissioned photography and text content are all excellent. Matches perfectly the book 'Soul of Tone' on Fender amps by the same author. Very impressed.

Quality, coffee-table book with beautiful photographs and full of interesting detail.Seems very well researched and a labour-of-love.

Fabulous book for Fender fans lots of great reading and seeing the changes over the years great price great seller a must for Fender nuts

Sheer guitar porn. This book is just gorgeous - buy it and prepare to drool over the beautiful and curvy delights within!!!!Be warned though - it will leave you wanting more Strats for your collection.

In short - I like it very much. It has all the general information about Stratocaster, I need.

La passerella storica della fender stratocaster iniziata con il suo fondatore il grande Leo e la rassegna dei Big agganciatialle loro strato mi è piaciuta molto. Ottimo acquisto , ne è valsa la pena di pazientare un pò per la consegna.

.. Wir befinden uns zeitlich ja mittlerweile schon eine Dekade weiter. Trotzdem ist das Buch wirklich gut. Wirkt auch sehr hochwertig. Ein schönes Geschenk für Gitarristen (die nicht Les Paul spielen)

Un excellent livre sur cette guitare plus qu'iconique qu'est la Stratocaster.La genèse, les évolutions, les questions techniques sont traitées.En outre, plusieurs grands guitaristes donnent leurs avis et leurs anecdotes sur l'instrument.Les photos sont de belle qualité et les rares publicités d'époque sont nombreuses.Très recommandé, aussi bien aux guitaristes qu'aux amoureux de beaux objets et de beaux livres.

This by far the best book I own in respect to the Stratocaster and its history. This hardcover, coffee table book is great from front cover to back cover. Carefully binded and in Matte black cover with color printings, The Stratocaster Chronicles is a must for guitar fans, strat players or not.There is not one of the 264 pages that doesn't include a great picture, from the first strats, to rare prototypes, to newer models, custom shops and stars' models.The book includes many excerpts with key memebers of the Fender factory in 1950's, including the man himself, Leo Fender, along with Bill Carson, Freddie Tavares and many others. The author dove into his archives to present the most accurate history of the Strat to date, from its inception, the two horns, the origin of the famous peghead and all the details of the most loved guitar.Rare pictures from the early 50's tell the tale along with narration from the author and dozens of interviews. This book includes an Audio CD with fragments of interviews with Leo Fender, plus 50 different sounds the Strat has become famous for, in the styles from player like Eric Clapton, Hendrix, Knopfler and Malmsteen, you can even learn to make your Strat sound like a Koto, from Japan!In all, just the pictures in this book are worth the price, the history, interviews and Cd are a great plus. Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the instrument that shaped modern music with this great book.
