Book Synopsis The Gretsch Electric Guitar Book by : Tony Bacon
Download or read book The Gretsch Electric Guitar Book written by Tony Bacon and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gretsch electric guitars have a style all their own – a glitzy, wacky, retro charm that over the years has drawn players from all kinds of popular music, from timeless stars to unknown teens. The Beatles, Chet Atkins, Duane Eddy, and Brian Setzer all made their mark with Gretsch, and new bands continually discover and fall in love with the Falcons, Gents, 6120s, Jets, and the rest. The Gretsch Electric Guitar Book comes right up to the present, including Gretsch's alliance to the powerful Fender company, a move that has done wonders for the reliability and playability of the modern Gretsch axe. Every great model is here, but the book also tells the story of the lesser-known guitars and the projects that almost never happened. There are archival and fresh interviews with Gretsch personnel over the years and with many leading Gretsch players, including Chet Atkins, Billy Duffy, Duane Eddy, and Brian Setzer. In the tradition of Tony Bacon's best-selling series of guitar books, his updated and revised story of Gretsch is three great volumes in one: a compendium of luscious pictures of the coolest guitars; a gripping story from early exploits to the most recent developments; and a detailed collector's guide to every production electric Gretsch model ever made.

Book Synopsis Gretsch's Lost Weekend by : Tobye Merril
Download or read book Gretsch's Lost Weekend written by Tobye Merril and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gretsch's Lost Weekend is a chronological history of the Gretsch guitars and amplifiers that were made in Booneville, Arkansas from 1970 to 1981.The DH Baldwin Piano and Organ Company of Cincinnati, Ohio acquired Gretsch in 1967 shortly after acquiring the Burns Guitar Company of England. In late 1970 they moved all Gretsch instrument production to two converted dairy barns in rural Arkansas The Baldwin-era is despised by many Gretsch purists who only favor the 1950's,60's and current models. This book clears up many of the myths and misconceptions surrounding the design, functionality and playability of these instruments. Gretsch's Lost Weekend is not just a book about guitars. It also tells the story of the decent, hard-working people of Booneville, Arkansas and Cincinnati, Ohio who went to great lengths to keep an iconic American guitar and drum brand alive until it could be reacquired in 1984 by it's heir, Fred W. Gretsch. This book covers everything from prototypes to pricelists. From factory fires to the purchase of Kustom in 1979. It's all told in the words of the people who were there. There were successes as well as failures and everything in between. Often criticized, they were ahead of their time in many ways. Gretsch's Lost Weekend will leave the reader with a new understanding and hopefully a new appreciation of the people and the great instruments they made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Play It Loud celebrates the musical instruments that gave rock and roll its signature sound. Seven engrossing essays by veteran music journalists and scholars discuss the technical developments that fostered rock’s seductive riffs and driving rhythms; the evolution of the classic lineup of two guitars, bass, and drums; the thrilling innovations and expanded instrumentation musicians have explored to achieve unique effects; the powerful visual impact instruments have had; and the essential role they have played in the most memorable moments of rock and roll history. Abundant photographs depict rock’s most iconic instruments—including Jerry Lee Lewis’s baby grand piano, Chuck Berry’s Gibson ES-350T guitar, John Lennon’s twelve-string Rickenbacker 325, Keith Moon’s drum set, and the white Stratocaster Jimi Hendrix played at Woodstock—both in performance and as works of art in their own right. Produced in collaboration with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this astounding book goes behind the music to offer a rare, in-depth look at the instruments that inspired the musicians and made possible the songs we know and love.
