|  | Blue Guitar by Ken Vose
Shortly before his death in 1995, Jimmy D`Aquisto built a lightning blue archtop guitar, the D`Aquisto Centura Deluxe, hailed as a masterpiece for its profound simplicity, sensuous lines, and mythical blue color. That guitar inspired its owner, collector Scott Chinery, to challenge 22 of the world`s finest guitar-makers to create their own interpretation of the Blue Guitar. Ken Vose`s book is a portrait of these creations, complete with photographs, designs, and interviews with the creators. AUTHOR: Ken Vose
