Totally Guitar is the biggest and most complete book on the world's most popular instrument, full of expert tips and fascinating stories for both beginning and advanced players. An unrivalled guide to the guitar, here are the stories behind 100 key electric guitar makers, from Alembic to Zemaitis, with fabulous color photos of all the greatest models from the 1930s to the 2000s. Here too is advice on how to string, tune, set up, clean, maintain, and store a prized instrument. Add 1,250 bars of music, 250 chords, the biggest glossary of guitar terms ever assembled in one book, and hundreds of essential tips on 10 hot playing styles from acoustic to rock 'n' roll and the result is a modern bible for the guitar-obsessed.

Buyers be aware! The first 1/2 of the book is exactly the same as "Guitar, A Complete Guide For The Player", and the second 1/2 of the book (catalog) is exactly the same as the book "Electric Guitars, The Illustrated Encyclopedia". I was very surprised when I received this book since I already have the other two books. This book is very heavy and is not worthwhile to return since the in & out shippings are not refundable. The 2 star is not for the book itself, but for the publisher's marketing strategy. Amazon or authors should have mentioned this in its product review. Besides, they should have included the other book; "Acoustic Guitars, The Illustrated Encyclopedia" instead of "Guitar, A Complete Guide For The Player" So that they would have not left out those great guitar makers such as Taylor, Larrivee, Santa Cruz etc. The name of the book; "Totally Guitar" is very misleading.

I'm glad I checked the contents of this book. Otherwise I would have been mighty surprised to find that half of it is a guitar catalog. If that's what you're loking for then buy it. You'll get half a good book about the IMPORTANT stuff you should know along with your catalog. This is not a 600 page book about how to play, how to maintain, repair... your guitar. Otherwise it's fine. I like Tony Bacon's books - I have many of them.
