Covers electrics, acoustics, basses, amps, effects, pickups, MIDI hardware, and accessories—plus factory tours and behind-the-scenes features at Fender, Martin, Ovation, and Peavey. Loaded with classic ads, period photography, and real-world pricing, it’s an invaluable reference and nostalgia hit for collectors, historians, and gear obsessives alike.
