That is a super human interest, guitar interest story, very thorough and well covered & documented with the video too.

Thanks, and I really got into it, because I like Tom Petty and Mike Campbell, and Mike has a Nash Guitar from Bill Nash in his home area too, as I do, but Mike's is a red Tele, hey what else? And this was all about the old "Red Dog" Tele; wonderful history and holy smokes... what a great guitar!!! - the original and the one by the kid. Well done! 8)
