5 Watt World is a good channel. He does a lot of these and they are all very well done!

Thanks a bunch.
Just saw his Fender history vid is also excellent. The two made for a nice coffee/guitar history morning.

"The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. The motions of his spirit are dull as night, and his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted."
I'll have to check that one out too.Partscaster wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 8:00 am Thanks a bunch.

For those who like to read, I HIGHLY recommend the book: The Birth of Loud: Leo Fender, Les Paul, and the Guitar-Pioneering Rivalry That Shaped Rock 'n' Roll, it talks about not only the instrument makers (Bigsby, Leo, Les primarily) but also the players and how both groups interacted and influenced each other and their prospective markets.
I do enjoy his channel. The histories are a delight and his sense of minimalism appeals too. It's more think about what you need to get your sound and use that. Though he raves about blue chip picks I can't see myself paying $40 for a pick.
