THE CENTURY THAT SHAPED THE GUITAR by James Westbrook: Explores the history of the 19th century guitar through nine special instruments from The Guitar Museum. Very well-written and researched. Period photos, newspaper write-ups and more are included to accompany the engaging histories of the players & luthiers. Utilizing the latest technology to help tell the stories of the guitars, there is a section on dendrochronology. In this process the woods used for the soundboards are approximately dated and analyzed. Recommended. High quality paper, 180 pp.
