Review
A feat of engineering... the guitar is both womanly in it's sensuous shape and "manly in its electrifying verve" -- Publisher’s Weekly, November 13, 2000, Volume 247, Number 46
The title...refers to the guitar’s feminine form...same neck and curves...that still shapes the instrument long after amplification became a fact. -- The New York Times, November 12, 2000 –David D’Arcy
features guitars from the private collections of Les Paul, Chet Atkins, and Steve Howe, as well as pieces from [major museums]. -- Guitar Player Magazine, November 2000
...an unavoidable driving force in the world of music...see what effect it has had on the world of art... -- The Weekly Dig, November 8-15, 2000 –Matthew S. Robinson
...highlights the development of the guitar from the 16th century through the present with emphasis on the 20th century. -- The Hartford Courant, October 22, 2000
...offers a fascinating perspective on...the form. ...one doesn’t have to be a guitar worshiper to revel in its pages... -- One Magazine, December 2000 –Tim Sheridan
...the real point-and the real thrill...is the juxtaposition of unique handcrafted oddities with more mainstream instruments built by...Gibson and Fender. -- The Boston Globe, October 29, 2000 –Steve Morse
