GIBSON GUITARS - TED MCCARTY'S GOLDEN ERA: 1948-1966 by Gil Hembree, foreword by Seymour Duncan: As CEO of Gibson Guitars from 1948 to 1966, Ted McCarty presided over the production of nearly 1 million instruments and amplifiers, including some of the most valuable fretted instruments in the world. This is Ted McCarty's first and only complete biography, and reveals a wealth of new information concerning the instruments, the factory where they were made, and the people who made them. Features over 100 b&w photos and illustrations, some from Ted's personal archives and never before published. Author Gil Hembree lived near the Gibson factory for most of his professional life and this allowed him to visit Ted McCarty's home many times. Ted introduced Gil to dozens of McCarty era Gibson employees and gave him access to many valuable historical documents. 342 pp.
