Buy a Book


This meticulously produced high quality publication is a passion project conceived, researched, written, typeset, and published in the UK by me. Since April 2019, books from the Limited Edition run of 1,954 copies have shipped to 30 countries all around the world to universal acclaim. I'm also delighted to report that copies of my ANNIVERSARY STRAT book have been installed in the British Library, the National Library of Scotland, the University of Oxford Library, the University of Cambridge Library, the Library and Archives of the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, USA, the Walt Disney Archives in California, and numerous private collections worldwide.
Despite the title being listed by book retailers, the ANNIVERSARY STRAT books are only available direct from me; this is a deliberate policy that I established prior to the date of publication on 23 April 2019, and which I have maintained throughout. Less than 80 books remain as at April 2023, so to order your own personal copy before the book goes out of print please complete the order form below. If you require more details about postage, or alternative shipping or tracking options, please email books@garydavies.com.
By the way, if you have not already done so, you might want to take a look at some of the guitars and some of the talented past and present Fender people that feature in the 45 chapters of the book.

Many thanks for looking and best wishes,
Gary Davies
