Quality SELLERS like this one are the reason why I’ve started using and following these professionals on eBay and have left the terrible Amazon shipped products. Absolutely 100% perfect transaction. Item arrived well packaged and in absolutely MINT appearance and condition!!! Amazon would learn a thing or two when it comes to businesses like this where the price is right and the item actually arrives as described and in perfect collector's quality. A+!!!

Invention of American Guitar
A beautiful oversized book that qualifies as both coffee table and reference book. There are sharp, clear color photos on every page of antebellum guitars of Frederick Martin as well as contemporary builders and the European guitars that preceded them. Background is given on the early years explaining how the guitars of the traveling concert guitarists were analyzed by the local luthiers leading to guitars which took characteristics of both local and European guitars. Dimensions and drawings of support patterns also accompany the photographs of the guitars featured. Having come upon a pre-1850 parlor guitar with all the characteristics of a Martin except for a rounded, slotted headstock I bought the book hoping to find an answer to its paternity.

Having come upon a pre-1850 parlor guitar with all the characteristics of a Martin except for a rounded, slotted headstock I bought the book hoping to find an answer to its paternity. I wasn't disappointed as I found the exact headstock pictured in the book. The authors had certified it as Martin headstock through their extensive examination of the records in the Martin archives. They used the same archives to draw up chapters on shipping, and labels. A feast for the eyes and a great source of information.

The evolution of the six string guitar using The Martin guitar company as the guide
This book is an exhaustive discussion of the evolution of the American guitar with a central theme centered on the Martin Guitar company. The book contains numerous excellent photographs of early Martin Guitars and other guitars too. The narrative is comprehensive and very well written. What is special is the fact that there is a discussion of the innovations that occurred during the period from the early 1800s to the beginning of the 20th century. This comprehensive presentation is followed with examples of guitars that contain the innovation. If you are interested in guitars, especially acoustic guitars, this is the book to purchase. No other book has as comprehensive a coverage of the changes that occurred during this critical innovative period that ended up defining the instrument ... This book is an exhaustive discussion of the evolution of the American guitar with a central theme centered on the Martin Guitar company. The book contains numerous excellent photographs of early Martin Guitars and other guitars too. The narrative is comprehensive and very well written. What is special is the fact that there is a discussion of the innovations that occurred during the period from the early 1800s to the beginning of the 20th century. This comprehensive presentation is followed with examples of guitars that contain the innovation. If you are interested in guitars, especially acoustic guitars, this is the book to purchase. No other book has as comprehensive a coverage of the changes that occurred during this critical innovative period that ended up defining the instrument that became the most copied steel string guitar, the Martin Dreadnoughts. This is the most copied guitar and is presently built on every continent of the world and the seeds of its design are discussed in this very well illustrated volume. If you are interested in the guitar and the steps that lead to the modern instrument, this is the book to read. It has opened my eyes to the complex path centered on innovative guitar makers of the early and mid 18th century. I highly recommend this book as you will not be disappointed in its content and coverage of the major guitar makers of which Martin Company presents the most convincing example of innovation. As a professor of design I was especially impressed with the detailed drawings of the changes in bracing, types of wood used and personalities that influenced what became the American Guitar. Also I am impressed with the books design and excellent color pictures. It is a large book and very well illustrated. The topic deserves this presentation and the publisher exceeded my expectations in this book. Also it has a comprehensive bibliography complete with foot notes in the back. As said above few books have such a comprehensive coverage to this important subject that has affected the music one hears every day. The guitar has become central to many of the world renowned musicians including the Beetles, Eric Clapton and so many others. This book looks at the foundations of their stringed instruments. To understand our music core on must look at the source of the guitar they are using to make the sounds that have captivated the world. This book is critical in its showing how we got to the music scene we all appreciate. I highly recommend this 290 page book!
