The Haynes guitar manual series is now well-established, with titles covering Fender Stratocaster, Fender Telecaster, Gibson Les Paul, Fender Bass, Acoustic Guitar and the forthcoming Electric Guitar Manual. Gibson launched this iconic electric guitar in 1960 as a more easily manufactured ’Henry Ford’ version of the commercially failing Les Paul. The guitar has remained in continuous production from 1961 to the present. Coverage will follow the established format for the previous guitar manuals.
