| Book Description: Although his planned return to Japan in May 2014 was unfortunately postponed, the Paul McCartney fever continues to burn brightly. The purpose of this book is to thoroughly analyze the instruments Paul has played throughout his career, from The Beatles to Wings to his solo work. It not only covers famous models that most strongly evoke Paul, such as the Hefner “500/1” and Rickenbacker “4001S,” but also provides detailed explanations of each of his basses and guitars beyond his regular favorites, including the Gibson Les Paul, Epiphone Texan, Martin D-28, and Yamaha BB-1200 (photos show instruments used by Paul or models of the same type). In addition to the bass and guitar commentary, the book also includes articles such as “Hisashi Kato (The Collectors) Talks About His Love for Paul,” “The Evolution of Tour Equipment,” “A Guide to the Equipment Used on the Out There Japan Tour 2013,” and “Album Analysis.” It analyzes what instruments Paul has used to create music throughout his entire career. It examines from multiple angles how “Paul's sound” was born. ※ Instrument columns starting on p.60 of this book include material from the 2010 Synco Music mook “BEATLES EQUIPMENT STORIES,” with additions and revisions to the Paul McCartney-related equipment sections. | |

|
| Publication : Voyageur Pr | |
| ISBN : 978-0760338216 | |
| Date : 2010/10/14 | |
| Page : 288p | |
| Book Description:These are the guitars so famous that their names are often household words: B. B. King's Lucille, Eric Clapton's Blackie, Stevie Ray Vaughan's First Wife, Billy F Gibbons' Pearly Gates, Neil Young's Old Black, and many more. Here's the first ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music. Other best selling guitar histories look at the rank and file models, but this book is unique in profiling the actual "star guitars"-the million dollar babies, such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock, which sold at Sotheby's auction house in 1993 for $1,300,000. Amateurs buy guitars to emulate the stars-Clapton's Strat, Slash's Les Paul-and this book explains the stars' modifications, thus showing how others can recreate those famous tones. | |
