All or of the grandfathers of rock guitar are gone now: Les Paul, Leo Fender, Seth Lover (inventor of the humbucking pickup), and now Jim Marshall. RIP to all of them.
Since so many amps were based on Fender amps (including Marshall, Mesa, and a few others), and just about every electric guitar out there is a derivative of a Tele, Strat, or Gibson design, I wonder what music would sound like today if not for those four men. Would it all be made on Gretches and Rics with single-coil pickups, played through Silvertone amps?
