Early 'maker'

2011-12-29 13:17:43.87888+01 by meuon 2 comments

Brian May's (Queen) Guitar was something he and his dad made? His mom's knitting needle as part of the "whammy bar"? Impressive craftsmanship and unique design elements. None of it was patented, licensed, or controlled like an invention with investors. Yet the use of it made him a good living, and many people copied aspects of it, for the good of Rock and Roll.
