The Guitar Chronicles

Smoke, Sweat, Scars and Soul: Extraordinary Vintage Guitars and the Stories They Tell

by Eleanor Jane

"I love seeing these amazing guitars that are so life-worn, with all that mojo, through Eleanor's eyes and lens. Beautiful."
-JASON MOMOA


"Eleanor has a unique ability to tell stories through her photographs. You can almost see the original owner's entire career in music in a single photo."
-MARK AGNESI


Blazing fires. Deadly hurricanes. Dive bar stages. These stunning guitars have survived storied lives to sing as sweetly as ever.

The Guitar Chronicles celebrates fifty exquisite vintage and rare guitars and shares the stories they carry within their battle-scarred shells. Renowned photographer Eleanor Jane has travelled the world collecting breathtaking images that capture the souls of these forgotten heroes and documenting the fascinating lives they have led.

From long-lost prototypes to nicotine-stained soldiers, and from chipped Les Paul Goldtops to grubby Fender Telecasters, this glorious collection celebrates magical instruments that have lived through sweat, smoke, and years on the road - and emerged to tell their tales.

With beautiful photography of impossibly rare vintage treasures in a luxury package, this is essential reading for the guitar enthusiast and a heartfelt homage to the enduring spirit of the six-string.
