Gibson Electrics - The Classic Years (Book) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a highly valuable reference source on Gibson guitars and basses from the "classic era" of Gibson. It is full of details and specifications I have not found in other reference books, online, or published in VINTAGE GUITAR or other magazines. For example, quotes from his interviews with former Gibson President Ted McCarty reveal vast information about the classic years at Gibson that were not systematically published before this book was printed in 1994. And it sounds just like the Ted McCarty I knew from our chats at the Bigsby factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he was for many years after his time with Gibson! The only complaint I have are some typos on specifications and a few descriptive phrases, but where are the good editors today? We've had many years of writings since this 1994 (revised in 1998) book, yet it remains one of my most important references sources on vintage Gibson guitars and basses, such as the many patent blueprint pages.
