Actually, I am a musician, and know what I am talking about.

I remember when there were no electric guitars. My grandfather was a friend of Les Paul. I recall he and his friends talking during a back yard seafood boil and jam.
Those friends were Les Paul, Hank Williams, Marty Robbins, Willie Nelson, George Jones, and Minnie Pearl.
They were poking fun at Les Paul for his squared off wood guitar hooked up to the electricity. The first electric guitar.
