These are the guitars so famous that their names are often household words: B. B. Kings Lucille; Eric Claptons Blackie; Stevie Ray Vaughans First Wife; Billy F Gibbons Pearly Gates; Neil Youngs Old Black; and many more. Heres the first-ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music. Other best-selling guitar histories look at the rank-and-file models; but this book is unique in profiling the actual "star guitars"--the million-dollar babies; such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock; which sold at Sothebys auction house in 1993 for $1;300;000. Amateurs buy guitars to emulate the stars--Claptons Strat; Slashs Les Paul--and this book explains the stars modifications; thus showing how others can recreate those famous tones.

Not overly informative; but a delight.By eckiefThis was a fun book. I bought it because I wanted to learn more about ponds - ours was a mess. It did help; but not in the way I thought it would. Other reviewers are right - there is not an overabundance of information in the book. However; it made country living come alive for me and infused my sometimes grumpy attitude towards it with a bit of charm and enchantment. Sounds far fetched; but it is true. I loved the homey manner in which Louise Riotte told her stories and worked them into the ongoing saga of life on her little homestead. It was an absolute treasure of a read. I credit Riotte for my own affection for ducks; for duck eggs; for incubating ducklings; for putting up with all their demands - they bring just as much joy as she says they do - watching them waddle about and paddle on the pond.17 of 18 people found the following review helpful. Not Very HelpfulBy A CustomerI found that this book would have been helpful for pond plants or if I needed a recipe to cook something I had raised in a pond; but I wanted information on keeping fish in a pond. Specifically I was interested in catfish; and silly me; I judged the book by its cover. This book provides very little helpful infomation on raising pond fish as a hobby. If youre interested in spending several thousand dollars to commercially raise fish such as trout; then this book has something to offer. Otherwise dont bother.
