2000 Guitars: The Definitive Collection

This exceptional hardcover volume 2000 Guitars: The Definitive Collection presents a sweeping visual and historical journey through the world of the guitar — one of the most iconic instruments in modern music. Authored by leading experts, the book covers everything from early acoustic and resonator models through hollow-body jazz guitars of the 1950s and 1960s, to modern solid-body electrics, semi-acoustics and contemporary basses. 
Featuring more than 2 000 images and referencing over 300 brands, the guide invites both guitar lovers and professional musicians to explore subtle differences — for example, distinguishing a Telecaster from a Stratocaster, or a flat-top from an arched-top model. 
Designed in alphabetical format for ease of reference, the book also offers detailed histories of major manufacturers such as Fender, Gibson and Martin. 
Whether you’re a collector, a guitarist, or simply captivated by design and sound, this authoritative guide is a must-have addition to any music library and makes a striking gift.
