Most people aren't aware that the guitar was not always king in the United States. Until the 1930s, the guitar actually played 'second fiddle' to other fretted instruments. This book chronicles the history and development of guitars, banjos, and mandolins in America. 800 color photos detail the evolution of these instruments, from primitive minstrel banjos to elaborately inlaid classic banjos and jazz banjos; from "taterbug" mandolins to classic Gibson models signed by the legendary Lloyd Loar; and a wide array of flattop, archtop, and resonator guitars. 8-1/2" x 11". 320 pages.
