Fender’s Stratocaster is arguably the number-one instrument icon of the guitar world. When introduced in 1954, its offset space-age lines, contoured body, and three-pickup configuration set the music world on its ear—it was truly unlike any guitar that had come before. In the hands of the world’s most beloved players, the Stratocaster has since become a popular weapon of choice among rock, blues, jazz, and country players and, not coincidentally, is also one of the most copied electric guitars of all time. In this authoritatively written, painstakingly curated, and gloriously presented tribute to the 60-year-old Fender Stratocaster, author Dave Hunter covers the guitar’s history from concept, design, and model launch through its numerous variations and right up to the present. The story is illustrated with archival images of Stratocasters and their players in action, studio shots of Stratocasters of varied vintage and provenance, memorabilia associated with famous players, and profiles of over 30 noted Strat slingers through the ages. Influential rock’n’ rollers like Buddy Holly, Hank Marvin, Ike Turner, and Dick Dale; blues players like Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robert Cray, Bonnie Raitt, and John Mayer; metal gods Richie Blackmore, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Dave Murray; esteemed rockers Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Ronnie Wood, Robbie Robertson, Rory Gallagher, Mark Knopfler, and Wayne Kramer; and post-punk heroes The Edge, John Frusciante, and Billy Corgan are all included. And so, of course, is Jimi Hendrix. With its unprecedented level of detail and stunning visuals, The Fender Stratocaster is the only book tribute worthy of the world’s greatest guitar.

DeleteOtro que te lo agradece ;) Me encantan las Tele, las Strato, las Les Paul, las Gretsch... y la Gibson 335 de Chuck Berry con todas sus imitaciones (Ibanez Super 70s, etc.). Nunca encontré un libro específico sobre ella, de modo que si tuvieras tú uno y lo publicaras por aquí, me harías todavía más feliz. Y si no, pues como en aquellos productos en los que te sale "siga buscando" :) Por cierto, también "voto" por libros sobre las bonitas Guild y otros dedicados especialmente a las guitarras de caja y media caja (hollow y semi-hollow), que me parecen preciosas. Un abrazo y buen domingo.
ReplyDeleteVeré si hay algo por allí, aunque es muy específico. Saludos.
