108 Rock Star Guitars, published by Glitterati, is a 486-photograph, $108 leatherette-bound monster of a coffee table book out Oct. 8 ($540 gets you the deluxe signed edition set inside a die-cut box, with a bonus scarf and pick). This doorstop of a tribute showcases the adored instruments of some of the world's most renowned rock musicians, from Jeff Beck (whose Stratocaster is a hodgepodge of different Fender models and parts) to Willie Nelson (who purchased his now-ravaged Martin N-20 acoustic, named Trigger, new in 1969).

"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
