The guitar industry’s most comprehensive publication on electric guitar information and pricing has been completely reformatted! The new 12th Edition Blue Book of Electric Guitars is now over 1,200 pages and features a bound-in CD-ROM with over 7,500 color guitar images. Written by Zachary R. Fjestad, the fully revised 12th Edition Blue Book of Electric Guitars keeps the reader up-to-date on new and vintage pricing and technical information on electric and electric bass instruments including new 2009 makes and models. A revised layout that incorporates the Trademark Index directly into the text, an icon that indicates when an image for that model is available on the bound-in CD-ROM, and thinner paper has allowed us to make the book nearly 25% lighter, making the 12th Edition extremely user friendly. Obtaining reliable guitar information has never been easier! The new 12th Edition also showcases the full color Photo Grading System™ (a Blue Book Publications, Inc. exclusive!). The Photo Grading System™ is the consumer’s best tool to correctly ascertain the various grades of both new and vintage electric instruments. These high resolution color photos enable even a novice to lock into each guitar’s unique condition factor easily and accurately, showing a variety of real world condition factors over a wide range of instrument models and configurations. Why guess when you can be sure? Most of the information contained in the new 12th Edition Blue Book of Electric Guitars is simply not available in any other single publication for any price! No other reference and value guide for solidbody electric guitars, hollowbody electric guitars, and electric basses even comes close. 1216 Pages with CD-ROM
