 Gibson Guitar
During the 1920s and 1930s, the Gibson company was responsible for many innovations in guitar design, and became the leading manufacturer of arch-top guitars, paticularly the Gibson L5 model.
Gibson guitars have been owned and played by nearly every important jazz, rock, funk, country, metal, and blues guitar player including Charlie Christian, Hank Garland, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Jimmy Page, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan (owned a Gibson Johnny Smith model), and Angus Young of AC/DC.
Although Gibson manufactures several types of stringed instruments, including mandolins, banjos, electric basses, and acoustic and Dobro guitars, they are probably best known for their electric guitars, especially the Gibson Les Paul and ES-335 models.

Arch-top guitars find much usage as rhythm instruments in dance bands and in country music.
Personally, I like You Can Teach Yourself® Guitar Chords because it presents chords according to how they are used in specific keys (Key of C= C Am F G7 E7 Dm), rather than as in the usual chord dictionary format (C, Cmaj7, C minor, C diminished, etc.).
Suggested reference books for chords are Guitar Chords, Deluxe Encyclopedia of Guitar Chords, and Mel Bay's Complete Book of Harmony, Theory and Voicing for Guitar.
