Six Decades of the Fender
Telecaster: The Story of the Worlds
First Solidbody Electric Guitar by
Tony Bacon
Perfect For The Non-Builder
Launched by the fledgling Fender Company in 1950, the Telecaster has
become the longest-lived solid-body electric guitar, played by everyone
from Muddy Waters to Chrissie Hynde. All who play know that the key to
the Telecasters importance and versatility is its sheer simplicity. Packed
with high-quality photographs of great Telecasters, collectible catalogs,
period press ads, and memorabilia, this tribute tells the story of the
Telecaster and the Fender Company through exclusive interviews with
Fender figures who were there when this musical star was born. 50 color
photos, and 40 black-and-white photos are included.

Personal Review: Six Decades of the Fender Telecaster: The
Story of the Worlds First Solidbody Electric Guitar by Tony
Bacon
There is an amazing amount of info packed in this little book. Should
please anyone except for the person looking for highly-technical design
minutia. This is not a design book about how to build or reproduce a
certain vintage Telecaster, but is a great history balanced with enough
technical details to please 90% of those interested in the topic. This is
proud Americana at its finest; an inspiring story of the American Dream, of
the lone genius making himself rich and creating something still
extensively used and recognized in every country and hamlet on earth,
that screams "AMERICA" whenever it makes a sound.
