I think his first hollow-body electric guitar, he just jammed a phonograph needle into the saddle, and lo and behold, he got sound! And nobody else even had the idea for a solid-body electric. I've never really mastered the art of playing an electric guitar, but I have certainly appreciated the skill and artistry of those who could do it well. Many (if not most) of whom were doing so on a Gibson Les Paul. . .<br /><br />I was frankly surprised that he was still living; and still playing - skillfully so - in his 90s. His passing is rightly mourned; he will be missed. . .Desmond Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829959101276150279noreply@blogger.com
