ā€œFor me, a truly compelling, fact-packed read all about how guitars are made, look, sound, and play. Atkinson admirably recounts a century of history, invention, and experimentation by experts and amateurs of a revolutionary instrument. Highly recommended for anyone who has a guitar, and for anyone who wants one.ā€ā€”KT Tunstall, singer-songwriter and guitarist
 
ā€œAtkinson has put a fantastically exhaustive amount of work into this book for all of us global guitar nerds to enjoy. Itā€™s so much fun to dive into it full immersion, and glean everything from details on iconic artist guitars to strange inventions from creatives on the fringe!ā€ā€”Jennifer Batten, guitarist (Michael Jackson, Jeff Beck)
 
ā€œA great resource for all guitar players, tinkerers, and enthusiasts. Atkinsonā€™s well-researched book provides essential and fascinating facts of this unique instrumentā€™s development over the course of more than a century.ā€ā€”Paul Brett, rock guitarist, journalist, guitar designer
 
ā€œAtkinson has dug deep into the history of the electric guitar to create a detailed view of the ways in which makers and musicians have triedā€”and in many cases succeededā€”to move its design forward. This engaging new book will be required reading for anyone interested in the development of one of the most popular and revolutionary instruments ever created.ā€ā€”Tony Bacon, guitar historian and author

An in-depth look at the invention and development of the electric guitar, this book explores how the electric guitarā€™s design has changed and what its design over the years has meant for its sound. A heavily illustrated history with amps turned up to eleven, Amplified celebrates this beloved instrument and reveals how it has evolved through the experiments of amateur makers and part-time tinkerers. Digging deep into archives and featuring new interviews with makers and players, it will find admirers in all shredders, luthiers, and fans of electric sound.
