Beatles Gear: All the Fab Four's Instruments from Stage to Studio

Just how did The Beatles get those fantastic sounds?

This book details exactly which guitars, drums, amplifiers and keyboards the Fab Four used throughout their brief but revolutionary career, from their earliest days as The Quarry Men to the dissolution of The Beatles in 1970. It provides a fascinating fresh insight into Beatle history, exploding myths and uncovering dozens of new stories along the way. John, Paul, George and Ringo's moves from cheap early instruments to the pick of 1960's technology are carefully and entertainingly documented in an easy-to-read narrative, fully illustrated with many unseen photographs, a cache of rare memorabilia, and a unique collection of specially photographed actual Beatle instruments.

As we continue to find new ways to explore their sound, from vivid remasters of their original recordings to cutting-edge video games, The Beatles remain at the forefront of popular music. This landmark book is perfect for the fan absorbed by music rather than hairstyles, for the tribute-band member with an eye for detail, and for any reader with an abiding interest in the 1960s. With a foreword by acclaimed Beatle autor Mark Lewisohn, "Beatles Gear" tells it like it was.
