To find the proper company and setting, we travel down to Guitar Showcase in San Jose, California to meet up with Gypsy Jack -- and gain access to the shop’s collection of impressive vintage guitars. Jack shares some general, as well as personal history.

    Then we travel back in time, as far as the 1930s, to trace the beginnings of the electric guitar as a necessity, a technology, and a phenomenon. We meet a guy named Les Paul from Wisconsin and Leo Fender from Southern California, and cover the founding of their quintessential guitar brands.
