These are the guitars so famous that their names are often household words: B. B. Kingrsquo;s Lucille, Eric Claptonrsquo;s Blackie, Stevie Ray Vaughanrsquo;s First Wife, Billy F Gibbonsrsquo; Pearly Gates, Neil Youngrsquo;s Old Black, and many more. Herersquo;s the first-ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Other best-selling guitar histories look at the rank-and-file models, but this book is unique in profiling the actual ldquo;star guitarsrdquo;mdash;the million-dollar babies, such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock, which sold at Sothebyrsquo;s auction house in 1993 for 1,300,000. Amateurs buy guitars to emulate the starsmdash;Claptonrsquo;s Strat, Slashrsquo;s Les Paulmdash;and this book explains the starsrsquo; modifications, thus showing how others can recreate those famous tones.
