From your blog posting the book sounds very similar to “Play It Loud” by Brad Tolinski. https://www.amazon.ca/Play-Loud-History-Revolution-Electric/dp/038554099X
That book was ok but I feel as if I have read better on the history of guitar.

Hi AWP - I don't know the Brad Tolinski book ... does Brad do instructional guitar stuff too?
Have a great day - Jim -
Brad Tolinski was the Editor-In-Chief for Guitar World from 1989-2015.

Danny - Right. Thank you

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...)
3) Jimmy Bryant! LOL -
Hi ruger- I'm glad you like it too... good read. Have a great day
Howdy, Stranger!
