Mike Thompson, a Japan-based musician known worldwide for his vintage guitar collection, has attracted attention from guitar fans worldwide for his exceptional aesthetic sense and deep knowledge, with approximately 10,000 followers on Instagram and 5,500 subscribers on his YouTube channel. The quality and quantity of his collection is unparalleled, with renowned musicians such as Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Bill Frisell, Lee Ritenour, Josh Smith, and Nathan East making time to visit him at his home when they visit Japan.
This book features a vast collection of 168 precious vintage guitars, collected by Mike over the years, with detailed explanations and abundant full-color photographs. The book covers a wide range of iconic instruments, including Gibson L-5s, Super 400s, ES-150s, ES-250s, Les Pauls, Byrdlands, ES-335s, ES-355s, and Johnny Smiths, as well as D'Angelico Excels, New Yorkers, Epiphone Sheratons, Casinos, and Stromberg Master 400s. Among the instruments included are many that were once owned by renowned jazz and country guitarists such as Pat Metheny, Hank Garland, Tony Mottola, Steve Jordan, Alvino Raye, Carl Kress, Neal Schon, and Vince Gill. Additionally, the book includes a URL where you can download sound samples of 10 carefully selected instruments from the collection, played by jazz guitarist Yuji Kamito. This book allows you to experience the charm of vintage guitars not only through photos and text, but also through the actual tones they produce.
