Fender Amps: The First Fifty Years

Rating:
Summary: anorak bonanza!
Review: To some eyes, a paean to the mecca of tone. To others, a Geek Fiesta. The casual rock fan/guitarist will find at least something in this - plenty of luscious photes of delightful old grandpa amps of the sort that spur observations of the They Just Don't Make Them Like They Used To variety. The owner of a Fender Amp will be thrilled and excited to be able to identify in exacting detail how old and rare his (or her) beauty is, and from what era it comes from. But pity his (or her) friends.

It's a worthy, thorough, not especially flamboyant book for anyone else. But given the subject matter, you can hardly scold messrs Teagle and Sprung for that.
