Summary

After years of continual research and updating, the 9th Edition Blue Book of Electric Guitars is now over 1,000 pages! Hundreds of new B&W and color images have been added, and once again, the Photo Grading System? continues to be the only printed reference on guitar grading. Over 1,000 manufacturers and trademarks are listed, and major sections like Gibson and Fender are now large enough to be published by themselves. Also includes most new model listings and up-to-date pricing for both current and vintage instruments. Additionally, extensive serialization listings to help accurately date instruments and a complete Trademark Index are also provided, with contact information available on all current manufacturers/trademarks of electric guitars and related products.
