The guitar has adapted to every musical evolution. Few musical instruments have experienced such a wide variety of models, shapes, colours and materials. This book features more than 160 instruments, spanning more than four centuries of guitar history. They are the works of the great Italian and French craftsmen from the 17th century to modern times. From the signature models such as Les Paul and Stratocaster to the most surprising creations (harp-guitars and Lap steel guitars), this book describes the musical trends and features the favourite instruments of the great masters.
