Possibly no other single event inspired the creation of
more garage bands than the first Ed Sullivan show featuring
the Beatles. And likewise, probably no single company
furnished more of the guitars and amps for young musicians
than the Sears & Roebuck Company. While most of us would
rather have started out with the Gretsch, Rickenbacker,
Hofner, Vox and Ludwig gear we saw the Fab Four using, due to
price and availability, it was the Sears catalog that supplied
our first six-string.

Most guitar aficionados know the story of Les Paul's "log".
Remember, back in the '40s, Les figured all he needed for the
perfect electric guitar was a neck attached to a chunk of wood
with some pickups on it. He built his log and it worked. But
his audiences were disturbed by its look, so he cut up an
Epiphone archtop and attached the sides to his log, satisfying
his fans. Whether or not a guitar teacher in Green Bay, WI,
named Dave Helland knew about Les' log, he too arrived at a
similar conclusion.

One of my students was around the other night and pointed
out that even when I was playing his guitar (a beautiful
Strat), I still sounded like me. It's true - no matter what
guitar or amp I plug into, I always sound like me. After 38
years of playing, it would be impossible for me not to. For a
long time this bugged me. I guess because I was so used to "my
sound", I started to think it was pretty ordinary, and over
the years I've made the odd attempt to change it. I can't
anymore.

Back in 1984 Ovation put out a high-end guitar to compete
with Gibson's Les Paul. The ULTRA GP Series. At the time, it
was priced at about $400, the same price as a Les Paul. Guess
what, they didn't sell. Not because of the design - it was an
INCREDIBLE guitar - but tough to complete with Gibson head to
head with a guitar from a company that is famous for
acoustics. Today they sell for over $3,000. Get yours for only
$649
