122pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Nancy Skolos and Thomas Weddell. Originally published in 1992, "Ferrington Guitars" is a survey of the work of master guitar designer and builder Danny Ferrington. Based in Santa Monica, CA, he has created instruments for many of the world's great musicians including Elvis Costello, Pete Townsend, Richard Thompson, Jackson Browne, Kurt Cobain, Ry Cooder, David Lindley, Henry Kaiser, and many more. This unusually designed, comprehensive compilation of his work examines in detail dozens of custom made stringed instruments along with a twenty track audio CD featuring contributions - many original - by Costello, Thompson, Cooder, Lindley, Kaiser, David Hidalgo, Reeves Gabrels, J.J. Cale, Neil Finn, Albert Lee, Don Was, and nine more. A most handsome example of the deluxe first "Collectors Edition" SIGNED "Danny Ferrington" in blue ink on the half title page housed in a blue plush-lined locking guitar road case with CD, key, and yellow Farrington Guitars thin pick, as issued. The case's brass-plated hardware shows some mild oxidation and pitting, but all in all this is a sharp copy of this desirable book object. Seller Inventory # 025786
