Amped
Guitarists love amps—really love them. Amplifiers may look dull to the rest of the world, but to guitarists they are full of mystique, romance, and rockin' sound. While there are many strong-selling electric guitar histories available, here's the first illustrated history of the electric guitar’s best friend, the amp. World-famous guitar and amp historian Dave Hunter tells the story of 60 of the greatest amps ever built, including classics from Fender, Marshall, Vox, the bizarre EchoSonic that created Elvis' sound, and the ultimate esoteric $75,000+ Dumble amps. The story is illustrated with hundreds of technical photos, rare machines, catalogs, memorabilia, and the amps of the stars, from Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Ray Vaughan to Eric Clapton. This is a book guitarists will drool over.

Essex Man Blues
Just who was Bobby Fulton? Strange things are afoot in the Delta - the Essex one, that is - and it's down to Dave Hunter, Southend-born bricklayer-turned-music student and blues harmonica ace to put things right, aided and abetted by his bumbling sidekicks Mick and Danny.Ordinarily, this would mean we've had it. But like the bluesmen who inspired him, Dave is at a crossroads. University life is ok, but it's started to bore him. It's a bit too ... Safe, maybe?There is also the small matter of him having met a girl he rather likes (rather likes a lot in fact). She's a sexy, sassy saxophonist, which would be perfect if only she was less taken by the advances of a certain smooth-talking American exchange student who Dave isn't keen on. Could it be that a dangerous journey into the heart of the Essex badlands is just what he needs?With every passing day and repeated spin of the mysterious vinyl, found in a charity shop and seemingly the only record this Fulton guy ever cut, Dave Hunter starts to suspect the answer may well be yes.On the other hand, he'd be just as happy down the pub, necking a pint of his beloved Estuary Lager with some Dr Feelgood on the jukebox.Or would he?
The Guitar Pickup Handbook
In The Guitar Pick-Ups Handbook guitarist and author Dave Hunter explores the history of the transducer that captures mechanical vibrations, from its beginnings in the early 20th century through to the present day.
Star Guitars
These are the guitars so famous that their names are often household words: B. B. King's Lucille, Eric Clapton's Blackie, Stevie Ray Vaughan's First Wife, Billy F Gibbons' Pearly Gates, Neil Young's Old Black, and many more. Here's the first-ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music. Other best-selling guitar histories look at the rank-and-file models, but this book is unique in profiling the actual "star guitars"--the million-dollar babies, such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock, which sold at Sotheby's auction house in 1993 for $1,300,000. Amateurs buy guitars to emulate the stars--Clapton's Strat, Slash's Les Paul--and this book explains the stars' modifications, thus showing how others can recreate those famous tones.
