Most musicians are familiar with the famous Bigsby Vibrato, but not as many
know about the wonderful Guitars that Paul Bigsby built in the 1940s. Bigsby,
who was responsible for developing and refining the pedal steel Guitar, also
built the first modern solid body electic Guitar for Merle Travis in 1948,
predating Leo Fender and Gibson's Les Paul by a number of years. The Story of
Paul Bigsby tells how Bigsby influenced Fender and Gibson, as well as a
number of other Guitar manufacturers, in building techniques and design. This
deluxe illustrated coffee table book contains over 300 colour and black &
white photos.
