Book Reviews of Six Decades of the Fender Telecaster: The Story of the World's First Solidbody Electric Guitar
Book Review: New information
Summary: 5 Stars
As a representative of the publishers of Tony Bacon's Telecaster book, I felt compelled to respond to EARLES L. MCCAUL's misleading review. It is true that Tony Bacon has written two other Fender books, but 'Six Decades of the Fender Telecaster' is his first to cover a single Fender model. And yes, some information in 'Six Decades' matches some information in one or both of the other two books. But that is because facts are facts, and assuming they were reported correctly in the first place - which they were - there is bound to be some overlap. How many ways can you say that a particular model was launched at such-and-such a time? However, I would point out that there is a great deal of new information in the Telecaster book: in the general story pages, in the photo sections, and in the separate model history. Finally, what Mr McCaul fails to mention is the inclusion in this book of new interview material with such luminaries as Jeff Beck and James Burton.

Summary of Six Decades of the Fender Telecaster: The Story of the World's First Solidbody Electric Guitar
Launched by the fledgling Fender Company in 1950, the Telecaster has become the longest-lived solid-body electric guitar, played by everyone from Muddy Waters to Chrissie Hynde. All who play know that the key to the Telecaster's importance and versatility is its sheer simplicity. Packed with high-quality photographs of great Telecasters, collectible catalogs, period press ads, and memorabilia, this tribute tells the story of the Telecaster and the Fender Company through exclusive interviews with Fender figures who were there when this musical star was born. 50 color photos, and 40 black-and-white photos are included.History & Criticism Books
