Not sure if this is the right place to post . I bought this book in a bargain bookshop for £7. It is interesting. It is really  a cataloge of instruments over the years.

What I found also good is the DVD. They demonstrated a numer of Gibsons over the years. I was surprised how much I like the soundsof some of the models I would not normally give a second glance to.
One was the ES330 and the other the reverse Firebird...

Well worth £7

    nice, that looks pretty good  (even if I disagree with the guy's thoughts on modern high gain amps in other books :)) )

    I find I even have GAS for guitar books these days... :(

  • I've got a couple of his books, one on "Tone". The summary of his advice is "Try stuff, use/buy it if you like what you hear". Interesting reads though.
    "Working" software has only unobserved bugs. (Parroty Error: Pieces of Nine! Pieces of Nine!)
    Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

    I have a few of his books, but I find his rambling, noncommitant style very annoying after a while.

    The effects pedals book is good though, less non-opinions, more cataloguing of interesting boxes and a good CD of recorded examples (especially the buffered/true bypass one!)

    I don't know the writer. It is really a listing of models with brief details of each , so actually fairly useful.
    The DVD is good as you get to hear some interesting models.
    Anyway for £7 I am happy....

    I just ordered it. I checked your link out of idle curiosity, then realised my wife has set up her credit card on our Amazon account.
    Bargain!
