Gibson Amplifiers 1933-2008: 75 Years of the Gold Tone (Book & CD-ROM) (Blue Book) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When this book showed up I couldn't put it down until I had read everything relating to the half dozen Gibson amps I already own. It was very easy to pinpoint the models and years of manufacture.I popped in the CD and immediately printed out the operators manuals for all the amps I own, as well as the tube charts for each. A copy of this info will always be with each amp.

Reading through the amp descriptions, I've settled upon a couple of amps I'm now dying to own, and will be searching out.

Layout of the book is pretty straight forward, the pictures are all clear, and the year-to-year production totals is nice to know. I would have liked to see the inards of a few more of the models, and some servicing recommendations. I know that there are other books about tube amp repair, but a small section could have easily been included.

There is really no mention in the book as to which of the models are collectable or desireable. You'll have to come to your own conclusions as to that subject.

I'm am really gratefull to the author for compiling this information and finally having a book dedicated to just Gibson amps. Yahoo!!!
