Bacon, Tony
60 YEARS OF FENDER
Backbeat Books (New York, NY, 2010)
The latest addition to Tony Bacon’s acclaimed series of
guitar books, “60 Years of Fender” gives a year-byyear
history of the most successful electric guitar
maker. In 1950, Leo Fender introduced to the world
the solid body electric guitar - the instrument known
as the Telecaster. He soon added two more classics: the
Precision Bass (1951) and the Stratocaster (1954).
Fender’s sleek, adaptable guitars have since fueled
modern music - from country to rock - and have been
heard in the hands of virtually every guitarist of note,
from Buddy Holly to Kurt Cobain, from Eric Clapton
to John Mayer. Illustrated with an unrivaled gallery of
color photographs of instruments, players, and
memorabilia, this revised and updated edition
expands upon “50 Years of Fender” (published in
2000), covering nine more years of the Fender story.
