Guitar Editorial Review
**** The latest addition to the Believers series has garnered positive reception among guitar enthusiasts and collectors alike. Reviewers have appreciated the book's extensive array of stunning photographs, which highlight various Gibson electric Spanish guitars alongside profiles of the iconic musicians who played them. Many readers emphasize its illustrative and informative nature, declaring it a must-have for anyone passionate about guitars. However, the book isn’t without its criticisms. Some readers pointed out that certain photographs appeared in lower resolutions, possibly due to the images provided by guitar owners. Furthermore, the placement of legendary musicians like Wes Montgomery in the book was seen as underwhelming compared to lesser-known rock guitarists, which sparked disappointment among some critics. Despite these minor quibbles, the Consensus remains that this book serves as a valuable resource for guitar lovers. The enthusiasm from readers regarding its content and presentation suggests that it successfully captures the rich history and artistry of Gibson guitars, making it a worthwhile addition to any collection. **
