가로 25 cm x 새로 32 cm로 큼직한 사이즈의 풀컬러 화보집 스타일입니다. 2001년에 초판이 발행된 이후 이제 개정증보판이 나온 History of the American Guitar는 1830년대 독일에서 미국으로 건너온 Christian Martin이 뉴욕에 Martin 컴퍼니를 세우는 이야기부터 시작합니다. 그 역사적인 순간에서부터 화려한 사진들과 함께 미국의 기타 역사를 매력적이고도 종합적으로 소개하고 있습니다. 75개가 넘는 브랜드가 소개되어 있으며 300개가 넘는 모델들의 사진이 고해상도로 실려있습니다. Bigsby, Danelectro, D'Angelico, D'Aquisto, Ditson, Dobro, Dyer, Epiphone, Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, James Trussart, Kay, Maccaferri, Martin, Micro-Frets, Mosrite, Oahu, Ovation, Regal, Rickenbacker, Stella, Stromberg, Suhr, Taylor, Vega, Washburn, Wilkanowski 등을 포함한 수많은 브랜드들이 등장합니다. 기타, 만돌린, 반조 등의 연관된 스토리들을 통해 컨트리에서 블루스로, 또 재즈에서 락으로 다양한 발전과 번영을 이룩한 미국 음악의 역사도 엿볼 수 있습니다.
