Inventing the American Guitar is the first book to describe the early history of American guitar design in detail. It tells the story of how a European instrument was transformed into one with all of the design and construction features that define the iconic American flat-top guitar. This transformation happened within a mere 20 years, a remarkably brief period. The person who dominates this history is C. F. Martin Sr., America's first major guitar maker and the founder of the Martin Guitar Company, which continues to produce outstanding flat-top guitars today. After emigrating from his native Saxony to New York in 1833, Martin quickly established a guitar making business, producing instruments modeled after those of his mentor, Johann Stauffer of Vienna. By the time he moved his family and business to rural Pennsylvania in 1839, Martin had absorbed and integrated the influence of Spanish guitars he had seen and heard in New York. In Pennsylvania, he evolved further, inventing a uniquely American guitar that was fully developed before the outbreak of the Civil War. Inventing the American Guitar traces Martin's evolution as a craftsman and entrepreneur and explores the influences and experiments that led to his creation of the American guitar that is recognized and played around the world today.…

hardcover. Condizione: Good. Publication: London, Musical New Services Ltd., 1977 Formatting: Large 8vo, pp. 68. Condition Report: Good. This softcover copy remains structurally sound but exhibits characteristic signs of use and handling commensurate with its age and intended use as a reference guide. The binding remains secure. The green card covers present with notable rubbing, surface scuffing, and minor colour loss along the edges and spine joints. A minor crease is visible to the top right corner of the front wrap, alongside slight wear to the spine extremities, including a very minor closed tear at the foot. Internally, the pages are clean and bright, with only slight age-toning to the margins, remaining completely free of extraneous markings, notes, or marginalia. Catalogue Note: This particular copy is a third printing, issued in February 1978, following the initial release the previous summer. Produced as a specific magazine project, it features the iconic black-and-white illustrative artwork and schematics documenting the history of the company's electric guitars. The rear wrap presents a striking, stylized artistic rendition titled 'The Collected Works of Fender'. While early printings of this reference work do appear on the secondary market, they are becoming increasingly uncommon in their original softcover format. Modernised, updated reference guides have largely supplanted these early volumes, lending this copy a distinct vintage charm as a period-specific piece of musical research. A classic vintage reference work, Ken Achard's The Fender Guitar provides a foundational look into the history, development, and golden era of one of the world's most iconic instrument manufacturers. Profusely illustrated and historically significant as an early, pre-internet guide to Fender's catalogue, the book explores the evolution of the Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass, and other legendary models. It serves not only as an informative text but as a charming piece of 1970s guitar culture and memorabilia, essential for dedicated Fender enthusiasts and vintage guitar collectors.
