April 7th, 2020 : Money for Nothing...
What we recognize as a guitar probably originated in 15th century Spain.
But it wasn’t spontaneous creation, just one more branch on the stringed instrument family tree. They varied in tone and style but all had a big hollow box to amplify the sound. But venues kept getting bigger so they got electrified. Pretty crude at first with musicians and roadies getting fried if it rained. As our Alien Overlords sucked more secrets from probed Hillwilliams on lonely roads at night, their designs of the electronics improved by leaps and bounds. By 1950 the electronics could make most any sound you wanted, no need for a hollow body, a plank will do. Now the only thing needing to be solid is both ends of the strings, so once the structure to stabilize the strings exists everything else can look like your visions, nightmares, and fantasies. Quote:
