In the music world, there are dozens of talented photographers known for their images of flesh-and-blood rockers doing their thing for the audiences that love them. But there is only one Lisa S. Johnson. She is the Annie Lebowitz of the musical ax, whose nuanced approach to still instrument photography has placed the veteran photographer in a league of her own. Armed with a macro lens, laser-focused eye for detail, and a unique, singular vision, Johnson's guitar art has become imbedded in pop culture's six-string consciousness.

The follow-up to her 2013 debut book, 108 Rock Star Guitars, Johnson continues her journey photographing guitars that have rocked the world with Mortal and Immortal Guitars.

Johnson's intimate guitar portraits illustrate the wear-and-tear details of America's greatest musical icon belonging to the worlds' most famous players. Mortal and Immortal Guitars presents a who's who of instrumental avatars both living and passed, including: Billy Sheehan, Dave Grohl, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Geezer Butler, Joe Perry, B.B. King, Albert Lee, Robin Trower, Vernon Reid, Susanna Hoffs, Vicki Peterson, Susan Tedeschi, Steve Stevens, George Thorogood, Chris Squire, Dave Davies, Rick Springfield, Steve Hackett, Buddy Guy, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, Michael Anthony, Lita Ford, Nita Strauss, Mike Bloomfield, Nuno Bettencourt, Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Elvis, Prince, and Iron Maiden's Steve Harris, Dave Murray, and Adrian Smith, to name a few.
