This book is great at defining the many styles of the Fender Stratacaster guitar since it's beginning in 1954. The pictures are awesome. Almost every image evokes an ooh..or an aahhh. I'm like a kid in a candy store with this book! The evolution of the Strat guitar is described in detail in addition to the history of it's developement. It's the "who's who" book of Fender guitars. From Buddy Guy to Mark Knopfler it's inspiring to see what musician played which type of Strat and how it corresponded to that particular period of time in music. Not too technical and overall a good reference book.
