(More customer reviews)Look, the title and description says it all. I was not disappointed with this volume at all! Not enough technical info for you? Go buy a technical book. This is a book about Martin Materpieces, a SHOWCASE of Artists' and Limited Editions (which I am lucky to own a few) and some one of Custom Guitars. The interaction between Boak and different artists is fun, and not something you will find anywhere else on the planet!! What a great part of his job that must be, to be with some these great artists designing guitars for them! The pictures are fantastic, as are some of the stories, to be looked at and read over and over again! Highly recommended eye candy and one of a kind story recounting!

A fascinating look at more than 100 of the Martin Guitar Company's custom guitars, created for the world's most famous musicians, including Sting, Eric Clapton, and Elvis-along with the inside stories behind each design. From the infamous 'Elvi' guitar owned by Elvis Presley (his original D-18 missing the 's' from his name) to customized instruments belonging to Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Joan Baez, Sting, and Eric Clapton, the Martin Guitar company has made a guitar for nearly every notable musician who's ever held a six-string. Now, MARTIN GUITAR MASTERPIECES revisits more than 100 of the company's most desirable guitars, ranging from those belonging to Stephen Stills, David Crosby, Paul Simon, and Johnny Cash to guitars owned by newer artists like Beck, Babyface, and Jonny Lang. Dick Boak, head of Artist Relations and Publicity at C. F. Martin, acts as the artist liaison in these collaborations and now, for the first time, enthusiastically outlines his experiences. Readers also get a sneak preview of Martin's millionth instrument, due in 2004.
