I saw that but the info on Amazon fairly limited to what was insidebobmunro said:0 -
www.backbeatbooks.com isbn 1-871547-81-4 - It's more of a guitar Bible.

If he's a decent striker and tall enough - sign him up.

There's one thing you need to know about Fender Stratocasters (and many other models).razil said:Has anyone got any recommendations for a big hardback book on the above, to put on my xmas list

The ones stamped 'made in the USA' are more expensive than the ones that are 'made in Mexico'.
The main difference between them is that the latter are made in Mexico by Mexicans.
And the former are made in the USA. By Mexicans.7 -
I know your comment is tongue in cheek, but that’s not the main difference! Build quality, fret, bridge and hardware are superior in the US made Fenders. As is the wood in the body.Chizz said:

But….. the vast majority of amateur players would not really notice a difference. I’ve got a Mexican made Tele and there is no perceivable difference playing that versus a US made equivalent which I also have - I’m equally crap at both!0 -

Yes. But they're not so well regarded. Because they're generally not made by Mexicans.Baldybonce said:

I promised my son I would buy him a real made in the USA Fender if he passed his GCSE’s to get into 6 form. He exceeded my expectations.bobmunro said:

He got into 7 form?4

Not even close, he reverted back to type and was kicked out after a year.IdleHans said:He got into 7 form?
With hindsight it was the best thing to happen to him, a bit of wake up. 10 years on he’s never been out of work and his Telecaster still gets strummed.
I bought him a fender bass in apple red, I can’t remember the model but I think it was Aerodyne. He has other fenders, (and other makes), since he left school, he’s become a bit of a collector and can actually play them.1 -
Recommended for anyone on a bit of a budget who would like to buy British

Decent DVD to shove on your list while you're at it - lasts 2.5 hours not bad for 6 quid ish.razil said:Has anyone got any recommendations for a big hardback book on the above, to put on my xmas list
