Gibsons var kanske den främste tillverkaren av electric steel guitars, eller "Hawaiigitarrer" som instrumentet kom att kallas på svenska. Ej att förväxla med countryns slide guitar. I Sverige blev Yngve Stoors orkester mest känd. För alla älskare av "Hawaiimusik" är detta en superintressant bok! Slösande rikt illustrerad med foton och skisser/ritningar. Här skildras Gibsons utveckling från starten i slutet av 1800-talet till 1967 då tillverkningen av electric steel guitars upphörde.

FÖRLAGSINFORMATION:
This book recounts the story of all the electric steel guitars - or electric 'Hawaiian' guitars, as they were called during most of their tenure - that were built by Gibson between 1935 and 1967. Hawaiian guitars were the most popular form of electric guitars until the 1950s, and they contributed to some crucial developments in pickups and amplification in addition to lending their voice to the earliest solid body electrics. Esthetically, the early postwar instruments are also amongst the coolest designs ever produced by Gibson. The following are the highlights of this title: over 450 illustrations, including a wealth of color pictures, catalog reproductions, and patent drawings; a comprehensive section on dating instruments; as well as detailed shipping totals for the 1935-1967 period.
