The Guitar and Amp Sourcebook

Thunder Bay Press, a leading publisher of high-quality gift books, is excited to announce the highly anticipated book, The Guitar and Amp Sourcebook , is available for purchase just in time for the holidays. Additionally, Abbott and Thunder Bay Press are currently giving a few copies away on the popular booklovers website, Goodreads.

This easy-to-use guide is written by Mike Abbott, a professional guitarist who has played with music icons such as The Rolling Stones, Sammy Davis Jr., and Burt Bacharach. Abbot, who lives in the Denver area, is also the editor of website AccessRock.com.

“The book began as a search for the most compelling guitars and amplifiers of the last hundred years,” said author Mike Abbott. “It soon morphed into the who, what, where, when, and how of guitar and amplifier development, which I hope will provide the reader with a behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of the instruments, as well as the men and companies who created them.”

This book not only covers the most popular models, but also the vintage pieces, and the rare beauties, as well as brand comparisons like Gibson vs Fender. Additionally, the book gives recommendations for the best beginner equipment and a listing of the guitars used by popular musicians.
