All other books on Gretsch Guitars are mainly about the history of the company, and the Gretsch family, the description of the different model guitars, old vice presidents, factory managers and other people who never built a guitar in their lives. Some of the stories are funny and some are serious. The foremen who actually built the guitars using their skills and the bench workers as an extension of themselves were never really appreciated. They were great guitar craftsmen who dedicated their lives to the company store and in the end got the shaft. Wherever they are, I know they will enjoy this book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The bonus section: \"Tips for Buying a New Guitar\" should interest every guitar enthusiast. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The bonus section: \"Great Chord Changes\" if studied diligently will bring any players fretboard knowledge to a new level.
