Fjestad, Larry Meiners : The Gibson Flying V before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Gibson Flying V: 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Everything about The Mighty VBy SGsStratsI just received this book in the mail yesterday and I love it. From design beginnings to a complete model listing with production dates and factories to headstock designs, it's all in here. There's even a section on the cases!My first lasting impression from the Flying V was as an 8 year old kid in '65 watching "Shindig" and The Kinks came on. They played "Tired Of Waiting" and there was Dave Davies with his Korina V, playing it with his arm in the fork of the body. Well, this book mentions not only when and where Dave bought his V but how much he paid for it (you won't believe it).I've been a V fan ever since from Andy Powell to the Schenker Brothers to Dave Meniketti (the first Yesterday and Today album) and Albert King and beyond. I wish the color section was a bit longer but everything else about this book is outstanding. Great detail about the Hendrix "Flying Angels" as he called them with photos of Jimi in action as well.The "Flying V Wanna- Bees" section is great also with coverage on Epiphone,Dean,Hamer and Ibanez models.This book is awesome and will give me hours of enjoyment.Now if I could just find that used Epi '67 style I've been looking for.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good book but be warned.......By P. CappielloThis is a very good Flying V book . but be warned...It is a reprint of the 2001 book Flying V by Larry Meiners, with some added pages. So if you already own that book (As I do ) you really don't need this one. If you have neither , then get this one.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Fred ZopffGreat presentation with all the history details and lots of pictures. The illustrated history of this Modernistic guitar is back for a revised second edition. Larry Meiners wrote and published the first edition in 2001, and author Zachary R. Fjestad (Blue Book of Electric Guitars) has revised and added information to this book. This book includes the history of the Flying V from the first designs in the mid-1950s to the models Gibson is currently producing fifty years later. New additions include all the models to be introduced and discontinued since 2001, the inclusion of Epiphone Flying Vs, and a new chapter on other manufacturers who have copied this fascinating design. An eight page color section and several specification pages make identifying your Flying V a breeze! About the AuthorZachary Fjestad is the author of the Blue Book of Electric Guitars, the Blue Book of Acoustic Guitars, and the Blue Book of Guitar Amplifiers. Larry Meiners has written numerous articles on vintage guitar collecting, and is the author of The Flying V and Gibson Shipment Totals. .

Medieval to Metal: the Art and Evolution of the Guitar MEDIEVAL to METAL: the ART and EVOLUTION of the GUITAR September 29Th, 2018-January 6Th, 2019
EXHIBITION RESOURCE PACKET Medieval to Metal: The Art and Evolution of the Guitar MEDIEVAL TO METAL: THE ART AND EVOLUTION OF THE GUITAR September 29th, 2018-January 6th, 2019 How to use this resource: This packet is designed to be flexible. Use it to help prepare for a docent-led tour of the museum, to inform a self-guided tour, or to discuss selected artworks in your classroom, whether you’re able to physically visit the museum or not. The suggested activities (page 7) should be used in conjunction with in-depth discussion of at least one related artwork. The guitar has been a signature element of world culture for more than 500 years. As the guitar’s ancestors evolved over centuries from the earliest ouds and lutes to the signature hourglass shape we all know today, guitar makers experimented with shapes, materials, and accessories, seeking the perfect blend of beauty and sound. Spanning centuries of design and craftsmanship, this exhibition takes visitors through the history of an object that is one of the most recognizable items on the planet. Art and music transcend cultural boundaries while the most recognized musical instrument—the guitar—has influenced culture beyond music. Through the years the guitar and its shape have been integral elements for artists such as Vermeer and Picasso and today they are incorporated into the advertisements of everything from clothes to car. What guitars are in the show? The following 40 guitars are included in the exhibition: Oud (North Africa) Maccaferri Plastic Lute (Europe) Silvertone 1487 Speaker

Now if you are interested in learning how to play the guitar then the first thing you will need to buy is a guitar. Most people start with an acoustic and graduate to the electric guitar. It is quite difficult for anyone to choose the right electric guitar since there are hundreds of models and several brands out there in the market.

The Making of a Cultural Icon: the Electric Guitar
Music and Arts in Action | Volume 4 | Issue 2 The Making of a Cultural Icon: The Electric Guitar WILLIAM F. DANAHER Department of Sociology & Anthropology| College of Charleston | USA* ABSTRACT This article investigates how products of material culture can become cultural icons. Employing ideas from the production of culture perspective, this research traces the historical process by which the electric guitar was created, the role of the media, and the power of gatekeepers and musicians. The article discusses more broadly how this case extends the production of culture perspective by linking it to broader social changes, such as McDonaldization and a throwaway society. *66 George Street, Charleston, SC 29424, USA © Music and Arts in Action/Danaher 2014 | ISSN: 1754-7105 | Page 74 http://musicandartsinaction.net/index.php/maia/article/view/electricguitaricon Music and Arts in Action | Volume 4 | Issue 2 INTRODUCTION This paper concentrates on the electric guitar by first investigating how the electric guitar was created. The development of the electric guitar in the United States is analyzed from the 1950s to the present day to show how certain guitars were raised to iconic status. Even though the sociological study of music has a long history, sociological research on the instruments used to make music has been sparse with notable recent exceptions (see for instance Bijsterveld and Schulp, 2004; Pinch and Trocco, 2002; Ryan and Peterson, 2001; Waxman, 2004). This article addresses this gap by showing how a material aspect of culture, the electric guitar, was important in helping to “create culture”, as Peterson (1997) puts it, and how this led to its iconic status.

Of Baxendale's Story
Rock & Roller Coaster Scott Baxendale survived the ride, from partying with the gods of rock to a crack- induced crime spree, finding redemption in a small shop on Colfax. “To make a guitar by hand,” Scott Baxendale says as he bends over a neck that needs just a little more sanding for a guitar he’s building at his Colfax Street shop, “is to make a sculpture, in the same sense as if you were to take a slab of marble and sculpt a statue.” It’s a delicate, elegant exercise, one that belies the serpentine gun- and drug- fueled path that led him here. Baxendale’s saga is one of sin and redemption, and it ends, he hopes, with Johnny Depp playing him in the movie. Baxendale came of age with Rock & Roll. He dreamed of Scott Baxendale, shaping a guitar neck. being a rock guitarist, but his parents were practical, telling him he needed something to fall back on if the music thing didn’t work out. Baxendale, still playing his guitar every day, went off to college like a dutiful son. During his freshman year, his mother sent him a newspaper article about Stuart Mossman, a luthier in Winfield, Kansas. Realizing that guitar making was that thing he could fall back on, Baxendale dropped out of college in 1974 to apprentice at Mossman’s side. He was a quick study. Over the next decade, he became a minor legend among guitarists, and his work took him from Winfield to Kansas City, Nashville, and Dallas. He built or repaired guitars for a who’s who of the music world, including Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Jr., Elvis Costello, Joe Walsh, Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, and hundreds more.
