‘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
Told in his own words, Fearless: The Anthology is Ronnie Wood’s definitive chronicle of a life in music. Written and signed by Ronnie Wood, the book traces his journey from the clubs of Sixties London with The Birds, through his time as bassist with the Jeff Beck Group and co-founder of the Faces, to more than 50 years as a member of the Rolling Stones, the most legendary band on the planet.
Published in a signed limited edition of 1,000 copies worldwide, Fearless is presented in two bindings: the Deluxe boxed sets (copies 1–350) and the Collector boxed sets (copies 351–1,000), each signed by Ronnie Wood.
The Deluxe boxed sets are fully reserved. Collector boxed sets remain available, with worldwide shipping now beginning. More than half of the edition is already reserved.
‘I was looking for an adventure, and I certainly got that.’ – Ronnie Wood
Fearless: The Anthology opens Ronnie Wood’s personal archive for the first time in book form. 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 limited edition publication.
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 fully 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: The Anthology 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.
'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
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 detailed 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: The Anthology 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, 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, his role as guitarist with 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: The Anthology 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.
Fearless continues with 650 Collector boxed sets, numbered 351–1,000, completing the strictly limited edition signed by Ronnie Wood.
The Collector copies are quarter-bound in red faux leather to match the colour of one of Ronnie’s tour shirts, with a silver foiled star design from one of his favourite guitar straps and silver foiling on the spine. The padded cover is printed with an image of Ronnie with one of his custom Zemaitis guitars. The book is finished with silver page edging.
Each Collector 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.
Each copy is accompanied by four replica Ronnie Wood guitar picks, a set of seven 5"×7" postcards of Ronnie Wood’s guitars, straps and ephemera photographed exclusively for Fearless, and a reproduction backstage laminate from Ronnie’s first tour with the Rolling Stones in 1975, The Tour of The Americas (TOTA ’75).
