Music, Musicians & Instruments
This is where rock and roll met the ad page—and the results were some of the most beloved advertising ever printed, none more so than Fender's legendary "You Won't Part With Yours Either" campaign, which showed players clutching their guitars in the unlikeliest places. The great instrument makers all made their case in magazines like Down Beat, Guitar Player, and Rolling Stone—Gibson and its Les Paul, Fender's Stratocaster and Telecaster, Gretsch, Rickenbacker, Martin, and the amps that gave them voice. Add the celebrity firepower—Vox riding the Beatles and the Stones—plus album and record ads, and these pages read like a history of popular music told through its marketing. Each is an authentic vintage print, instantly evocative and made to hang in a music room, studio, or bar.
