Rich, Dean, Ibanez, Hamer, and Lado, this is the story of how guitar design went from odd curiosity to arena-rock essential.Through deep research and interviews with legendary players, builders, and insiders, Kelly reveals how these instruments became more than tools-they became symbols of rebellion, speed, volume, and attitude.
