"For me, a truly compelling, fact-packed read all about how guitars
are made, look, sound, and play. Atkinson admirably recounts a century
of history, invention, and experimentation by experts and amateurs of a
revolutionary instrument. Highly recommended for anyone who has a
guitar, and for anyone who wants one."—KT Tunstall, singer-songwriter
and guitarist
"Atkinson has put a fantastically
exhaustive amount of work into this book for all of us global guitar
nerds to enjoy. It’s so much fun to dive into it full immersion, and
glean everything from details on iconic artist guitars to strange
inventions from creatives on the fringe!"—Jennifer Batten, guitarist
(Michael Jackson, Jeff Beck)
“A great resource for all
guitar players, tinkerers, and enthusiasts. Atkinson’s well-researched
book provides essential and fascinating facts of this unique
instrument’s development over the course of more than a century.”—Paul
Brett, rock guitarist, journalist, guitar designer
“Atkinson
has dug deep into the history of the electric guitar to create a
detailed view of the ways in which makers and musicians have tried—and
in many cases succeeded—to move its design forward. This engaging new
book will be required reading for anyone interested in the development
of one of the most popular and revolutionary instruments ever
created.”—Tony Bacon, guitar historian and author
An
in-depth look at the invention and development of the electric guitar,
this book explores how the electric guitar’s design has changed and what
its design over the years has meant for its sound. A heavily
illustrated history with amps turned up to eleven, Amplified
celebrates this beloved instrument and reveals how it has evolved
through the experiments of amateur makers and part-time tinkerers.
Digging deep into archives and featuring new interviews with makers and
players, it will find admirers in all shredders, luthiers, and fans of
electric sound.
