The ultimate collection of 100 legendary guitars. From the beginnings of American guitar in the 19th century to avant-garde creations from Canada just a few months ago, from folk to electric and archtop guitars; from the cheap guitar of 1960s bluesmen to the half-million-dollar Les Paul; all the instruments featured in this book are exceptional, whether because of their sound, craftsmanship, playing style, aesthetics, or the artists they inspired.

Julien Bitoun, a musician and renowned expert in the history of rock, has lovingly selected each instrument. He narrates the stories of their creation and the reasons they entered history.

Enough to make the most cynical collector interested or the more casual enthusiast permanently hooked!
