What could be greater than two books respectively containing every detail about Fender and Gibson guitars? What about two such books accompanied by detailed DVDs? That's what these two books offer: information on every model of guitar ever produced by these two manufacturing giants. The accompanying DVDs provide visual input on these instruments as well as multiple examples of the guitars as played by the two authors.

The Fender Bible has information on every Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazzmaster, and every other guitar ever built, as well as complete information on the full line of Fender guitar amplifiers. Same is true with the Gibson book as it lays out page after wonderful page stuffed with every fact ever known about the Les Paul, SG, the basses and the amps.

A lot of time has gone into the creation of these books and DVDs and it shows. They are beautiful examples of mixed media merging into the digital/print book.
