Very cool,
now I can finally get a hold of one of these.
In a weird way I'm glad I waited and didn't get the 3rd edition,
the new 4th edition sounds great.
congrats John.

Congrats, John. The cover looks great!
Needless to say, as a writer who covers much SoCal culture, your surf and hot rod discography books have been a primary source of reference for me. I haven't seen the new updates, but I recommend any fan of surf music to pick this one up asap.

I'm ordering one too. Nice cover, I don't see a Strat anywhere. I guess Jaguars are the definitive surf guitar after all.

My mom was bugging me for an idea for a Xmas gift for me. This thread just gave it to me. Looking forward to it.
