Another vote for the golden age of fender book. I love that one. Great photography and great read as well.

Anyone know where to get a reasonably priced copy of The Beauty Of The Burst? $70 for a paperback is too crazy.

It's out-of-print and unlikely to get less expensive over time.

Some of these OOP gear books can get a lot more pricey than $70.

Yeah, tell me about it. I want to get a copy of The Blackguard Book. Just like everything else, prices keep going up.

You can get it as an E-Book.... not the same.... but it's there.

In uk it's on amazon and other places for around 25 pounds.

I'd love to find a copy of The Blackguard Book at a reasonable price... The last one I saw on Reverb was $300.

As far as Fender coffee table books go, with lots of good pics, I like these:

Nachos Blackguard Book is one I will own one day.
He also builds an amazing Telecaster

Thanks for the heads up. Ordered one. Only 3 left now.

The Birth of Loud is a pretty good chronicle of Leo Fender, Les Paul, et al., during the early days of the electric guitar's creation. That ought to satisfy your Fender itch.
