'My guitars are the tools of my trade. They are really precious to me and it's amazing to see them documented in this new book.' – Ronnie Wood
Told in his own words, Fearless is Ronnie Wood’s musicography – a tale of adventure that begins in the clubs of Sixties London with The Birds, moves through his time as bassist with the Jeff Beck Group and co-founder of the Faces, and culminates in 50 years with the most legendary band on the planet.
‘I was looking for an adventure, and I certainly got that.’ – Ronnie Wood
Fearless: The Anthology opens up Ronnie Wood’s archive for the first time. The collection spans legendary guitars and rare instruments, custom-made straps, vintage pedals and amps, designer stage wear, concert set lists, and historic ephemera – all specially photographed for the making of this edition. Capturing the spirit of every era, Ronnie’s stage clothing is shown from his first performance with the Rolling Stones in 1975 through to the shirts, jackets, and t-shirts of their 2024 Hackney Diamonds tour. The anthology is brought right up to date with a recreation of the complete stage setup from Ronnie's headline-making appearance in Glastonbury’s 2025 Legends Slot.
Written in Ronnie’s own words, with exclusive new text for this edition, Fearless combines specially commissioned photography of his archive with rare period images. The result presents the collection on stage, in the spotlight, and interwoven with the story of his life in music.
‘People say, “If you’re going to be successful at something, pick something that you enjoy doing.” And the smile is all over my face because I love playing guitar and I love the challenge of learning something new.’ – Ronnie Wood
Ronnie’s archive includes hundreds of guitars and pieces of gear that span his entire career. Highlights include a replica of his iconic Birds Op Art–customised white Fender Telecaster, the two Fender basses he played with the Jeff Beck Group, the Disc-Front Zemaitis he’s used since the Faces, and an array of Fender Stratocasters – the guitar he has favoured throughout his time with the Rolling Stones – such as ‘Primo’, ‘Scratchy’, and ‘Old/New’.
The book features stunning photography of Ronnie’s most important stage and studio guitars, including his Duesenberg Starplayer TV, vintage and signature J200s, ESP B-Benders, Les Pauls, L5s, Versoul Raya, metal-front Zemaitis, Gibson Firebird, and his collection of lap and pedal steels. Every detail – the colours, patina, wear and tear, and unique modifications – has been captured to tell the story of Ronnie’s extraordinary journey through music.
Fearless also unveils instruments rarely seen – and in some cases never before shown – curated by Ronnie over the years into a remarkable collection. Each piece has been hand-selected by Ronnie for inclusion in Fearless, with the stories behind the instruments revealed in his own words.
‘The Stones were always in the back of my mind. When I got to the Stones, I didn't feel like I'd finally made it. I was wondering, “Where do we take it from here?”’ – Ronnie Wood
Sixty years on from his debut with The Birds, Ronnie Wood – a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee with both the Rolling Stones and the Faces – remains at the heart of rock history, from the Jeff Beck Group to the Faces and, for the past five decades, the Rolling Stones. Along the way, Ronnie has released seven solo albums and worked with the greatest names in music, while also pursuing a parallel career as a celebrated visual artist.
Celebrating his 50th year as a Rolling Stone and 50 years of Genesis Publications, Fearless marks the fifth collaboration between Ronnie and Genesis. His new career-spanning edition follows the success of his best-selling titles Wood On Canvas, Faces, 1969–’75, How Can It Be?, and The Rolling Stones Set Lists, as well as his valued contributions to recent publications such as Buddy Holly: Words of Love.
Numbered 1 to 350, the first copies in the Fearless limited edition are Deluxe boxed sets, each signed by the author, Ronnie Wood.
The Deluxe copies are quarter-bound in materials inspired by one of Ronnie’s favourite guitar straps, with silver page edging and padded cloth covers.
Each Deluxe boxed set is presented in a black clamshell box with metallic detailing inspired by the engravings on Ronnie Wood’s famed Zemaitis Disc Front guitar.
