50 Years of Fender -Half a Century of the Greatest Electric Guitars
Author: Tony Bacon
Sept 25, 2007 -- Backbeat Books Press Release

Second Edition to be released. Updated to 2007 specs.

More than a half-century after Leo Fender started making guitars, the name Fender is synonymous with rock 'n' roll, having set the benchmark by which all other instruments are measured. The Fender Electric Guitar Book tells this story, tracing the company's humble beginnings in Southern California to its place at the top of the guitar heap.

This updated edition includes hundreds of full color photos-many of which were not included in the first edition-of nearly every make and model of Fender, from the very first Telecaster to Custom Shop originals.

Additionally, there is a full reference section with detailed information on American, Japanese, Mexican and Korean Fender models as well as a body shape key, detailed chronology from 1950 through 2007, serial number info, neck, body, fretboard specs, and much more.
