Guitar Editorial Review
**** "Pickups, Windings and Magnets: ... And the Guitar Became Electric" offers a comprehensive exploration of electric guitar pickups, tracing their historical development and providing insights into their mechanics. While the content is rich in historical context and serves as a valuable reference for vintage specifications, some readers have noted limitations in depth, particularly regarding technical details and specific pickup designs. The book is praised for its readability, making it accessible for enthusiasts of various skill levels. However, the writing quality and organization have received criticism; some reviewers have found the material challenging to navigate due to poor editing and weak photographic content. Additionally, while the book captures essential historical figures and inventions in the industry, it omits some notable contributors, leading to a feeling of incompleteness for more knowledgeable readers. Despite these criticisms, the book has been well-received by those looking to deepen their understanding of pickups and the overall journey of electric guitars. It serves as a foundational text for budding pickup winders and guitar aficionados, establishing a solid base from which to explore the subject further. **
