Ibanez is the most important Japanese guitar brand and this new book tells the story of its electric guitars tracking the fortunes of this impressive brand.At first the guitars were cheap and basic and in the 1970s Ibanez was best known for its copies of leading Gibson instruments including Les Pauls SGs and Explorers.

In recent years the company has continued to provide great modern electric guitars.Ibanez guitarists featured in the book include George Benson Charlie Burchill (Simple Minds) Phil Collen (Def Leppard) Allan Holdsworth Pat Metheny Steve Miller Joni Mitchell John Petrucci (Dream Theater) Lee Ritenour Joe Satriani John Scofield Paul Stanley (Kiss) Mick Thompson (Slipknot) Steve Vai and Bob Weir (Grateful Dead).The book is in the tradition of Tony Bacon's best-selling guitar series with a carefully researched story including exclusive interviews with Vai and Satriani a gallery of full-color pictures of famous guitars and players and a reference section detailing production years and specifications of all Ibanez's electric models.
