I'm only about 1/3 of the way through the book, but I have to say a few things...
1) I had no idea these 3 men (Leo Fender, Les Paul, Paul Bigsby) had ANY sort of friendship or collaboration...
2) I'm a little shocked at both Leo and Les for the way they handled business, other people, and innovation (Paul Bigsby flat-out accuses Leo of stealing his intellectual property, and it certainly seems like that is what he did...)
