Synopsis(Reference). Many guitar players, famous and not so famous, began playing on Japanese electric guitars, yet the history of the people and factories that produced these instruments has remained largely ignored. For the first time in this illustrated history, author Frank Meyers will examine the Japanese electric guitars and factories that were active during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, identifying the various people, companies, and guitars that contributed to the huge guitar boom of the 1960s. Includes hundreds of fantastic color photographs, a chapter on 130 pickups, and a chapter on collecting vintage Japanese guitars. A must have for book collectors.

If you started out on a Japanese guitar or bass...
Man this is a trip back in time, back in history when kids were grabbing guitars of the walls at any place they could find the, especially the mid to late 60s. Hell, my first bass was from Lafayette Electronics a rival to Radio Shack. It was made by Teisco. Nope, it was not a Fender but its was a bass guitar abd by God it was mine. Frank Meyers delves into the details of the Japanese manufacturing companies, ownership, innovations and the importers who created their own brands, thoughtfully many sold in the US market. If you love guitars or love any kind of history this is one fine book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
