weird Japanese cool at its best
If you are into wierd, Japaneese guitars, this book is for you. The author goes through the history of each Japanese factory, then shows the various names and models they produced, as well as old advertising. Most are ugly cool while some are just laughable but all are really intreging and wonderful to see. Jusat wish some of the pictures were a bit larger, butoveral the book is wonderful, and I hope it spawns more books like it.

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.
