Concepts that clearly never caught on. I did like some of his one-liners: "makes about as much sense as an ashtray on a motorbike"

That was very interesting. I'd like to hear Notes' comments about the Fly!

This is interesting, but I do have a question. I'm not a guitar player but in the discussion of the Bond ElectroGlide he mentions re-fretting a neck. I've never heard of this. Is this something that is routinely done?

Sounds expensive and would, in at least my opinion, require a master technician.

Maybe this is only done on truly one of a kind or custom axes or perhaps those of collectors?

Has anyone here ever done this?

Yes, I've had to refret a couple of my guitars. Traditional frets are made out of nickel and copper and wear out over time. Don't remember how much I paid, around $200 or so. You can also buy the tools to do it yourself from places like Stewmac, although I'm not sure I would attempt it.

Interesting...
I wonder how many other revolutions in the musical world never happened

I agree that there are some interesting points in this video. Neat find.

At least, this revolutionary invention made it all the way to the top.
See a party, see at least one of those
Doesn’t even look at his fretboard... Show-Off!
