Great stuff, Rocky. Really liked John's MSG Les Paul, hadn't seen that before. By the way, I think the narrator didn't get John's wordplay about Humbucker/Humperdink.

Overall, I really enjoyed it. But it's "Irsay," not "Isray" (Owner of the Colts). And the Rocky Strat either did not have a string tree or had a string tree between the G and B rather than the B and E strings.
But Strats, SGs and Les Pauls are the coolest guitars period. I wish he had commented on that Gibson ES-345 (or 355, can't remember) that George was seen holding in a publicity photo from late 1965. In the same photo, Ringo is on an exercise bike. You rarely if ever hear about that guitar. But that would have made 6.

Fun fact about the blue Strats [from The Beatles' Gear] the lads were on a US tour, and Fender offered to supply them with free guitars. They declined. Upon returning home they sent Mal Evans out to buy those matching Strats.

That was probably Brian that canceled the Fender guitar offer and never told them.

Bruce Welch of "The Shadows" talking about playing guitar. He has a nice story about Paul.
