Music123 has the book listed for $9.95 in the close-out booklet that they pack in the latest shipment boxes. Call their 800 number and say that you saw it for $9.95 on one of the deal sheets that they pack in every shipment.

128 color pages. It chronicles year after year from 1950-2000. Every two page spread is one year. They have guitars, amps, players and advertising pieces from each year. I love looking at old Fender ads from the 50's.

Cool book. Mine's on my nightstand.

FYI.

Tony Bacon has written a lot of great books! His 6 decades of the Telecaster is almost like a Bible.

Tony Bacon's books are all excellent. This one looks good value.

Does anyone know how different the 50 years of Fender book is from the one mentioned below: "The Fender Electric Guitar Book; A complete history of Fender Instruments" ? It seems that this latter book is from the 60th anniversary, is stated as being the "3rd edition" and both are put out by Backbeat, so my guess is that it is an updated version of the first book. Just curious if that is correct, or whether they have any substantial difference (other than re last 10 years from 50th to 60th anniversary).
