"The Rhodes piano was the brainchild of musician Harold Rhodes. While a flying instructor stationed in Greensboro, North Carolina, Rhodes designed his first portable acoustic piano for the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942. Beginning with a pile of aluminum tubing salvaged from a B-17 bomber, Rhodes fashioned a sort of xylophone with a 29-note keyboard. Following World War II, Rhodes built a self-amplified, 38-note electric model called the Pre-Piano after taking apart a chiming clock that used spun-metal rods called tines. Introduced in 1970, the 132-pound Mark I is made of wood, covered in a fabric-reinforced vinyl called Tolex, and sized to fit into a box that measures 45.25 by 9.85 by 23.63 inches. A compartment in the top cover houses four telescoping tubular steel legs that screw into the instrument's underside at a splayed angle for sturdy setup. A long metal sustain pedal attaches to the keyboard mechanism through a small hole in the center of the piano's underside via interlocking rods. The Mark I was manufactured in 73- and 88-key models. On the early Mark Is, the hammers were made of felt-covered wood; they were replaced on later models by rubber-covered plastic. Sound is generated when the key action causes the hammers to strike the tines. Audible vibrations are picked up by a system of individual magnets positioned close to the tip of each tine.

Originally intended as a student amp, the Fender Champ has stood the test of time due mainly to it's simple, toneful circuitry and ease of transportation. Featuring what many agree is the perfect blend of punchy clean and mild grit, they are a perpetual favorite go-to amp in professional studios.

Developed by Leo Fender and launched in 1950, the Broadcaster was soon changed to Telecaster to avoid confusion with the name of a drum model produced by Gretsch. During a short interval, It had no model designation on the headstock, hence the term "nocaster". It has remained a staple of the Fender line for nearly 60 years. |

Gibson pioneered electric guitar in the 1930's, and, consequently, amplifiers, as well. During the mid-1940's, amplifier development was put on war hold. By 1950, Gibson was a MAJOR amp manufacturer, with a philosophy of building warmer, mellower, less compressed amplifiers than their competition, you-know-who. By the mid 1960's, Gibson had lost the amp war, but, from 1947 through the late '60's, the Kalamazoo plant turned out a wide array of models; ranging from little, metal-tubed blues screamers to large, powerful, bells-and-whistles-laden jazz amps. Demand and prices for Gibson amps is increasing, even in today's challenging market. |

Starting it's life as a 1x12 combo in 1955, the Fender Tremolux was changed to a 1x10" piggyback head/cab configuration in 1961. A second 10" speaker was added in late '62 and remained standard until 1966 when Fender discontinued the model. The sweet cleans and gritty overdrive that characterized the Fenders amp of that period and it's striking piggyback style have made the rare tremolux a prize for both players and collectors. |

Watkins/WEM is England's original manufacturer of amplifiers, whose 1954 Westminster guitar amp was five years ahead of Vox, and a full decade prior to Marshall's debut. It's easier to
list early English rockers whose first amp WASN'T a Watkins, than to name the countless British Invasion musicians who first gigged on Westminster, Scout, and the more famous Dominator combo amps. The Watkins Copicat Tape Echo is a milestone product, with a sound which some enthusiasts still prefer to that of any other similar unit ever made. Watkins/WEM amps are not common in the United States, outside of recording studios, and in the collections of amp tone aficianados. The aggressive, snarling guitar sounds of Watkins combo amps are belied by these small units' kitschy, almost cute aesthetics |

Introduced in 1952, the Fender Twin featured a 2x12" speaker configuration, tweed covering, and two 6L6 power tubes supplying 25 watts of power. In '58, Fender boosted the power output to 80 watts with a quad of 5881 output tubes. Known as the "high power" Twin, these models have become the most sought after by both players and collectors. In 1963, Fender added reverb to the design and the Twin Reverb was born. Throughout the years, the ever-popular Twin has had many versions, including the Twin Reverb, Twin Reverb II, Red Knob Twin (often referred to as the "evil Twin"), and, most recently, the '65 reissue. |

Although introduced in 1952, the Gibson Les Paul didn't receive the official definition of "standard" until 1960. Built with a maple capped mahogany body and two PAF humbuckers, the standard would become the most desired and valuable electric guitar in history. Played by the likes of Duane Allman and Jimmy Page, it has truly become the "standard" rock/blues/jazz instrument. |

In the fall of 1954, Nathan Daniel started production of Silvertone guitars for Sears. He also produced the same guitars under the Danelectro name, sold to other jobbers. These early models didn't have truss rods but had a 3/4" square aluminum tube beginning at the peghead and through the body to the bridge. The bodies were constructed of solid Poplar wood. The Silvertone models were covered with a dark maroon vinyl covering, while the Danelectro models were covered in a whitish tweed material. The Silvertone brand produced a wide variety of styles over the years. Mainly a beginner's instrument, their unique tones and styles have stood the test of time and are now highly regarded collectables. |

Founded in 1849 by Joseph H. Rogers, the Rogers Company originally manufactured high-quality animal-skin heads for the fast growing Banjo market. The Rogers facility is believed to be the first drumhead factory in the U.S. They soon established themselves as the maker of the finest calfskin heads available. This legacy of quality and innovation would later establish Rogers as one of the premier drum companies in the world. By the 1930?s the decline in popularity of the banjo created a need to diversify their business, so Rogers began manufacturing drums and drum accessories.

The Epiphone Company was founded in 1873 by Anastasios Stathopoulos. It was purchased in 1957 by the Chicago Music Company, owners of the Gibson Guitar Corporation. Epiphone was Gibson's main rival in the archtop market and their quality archtops-the Emperor, Deluxe, Broadway and Triumph-rivaled (and some contend surpassed) those of Gibson. They also produced professional quality acoustics, basses and banjos. |

Introduced in 1922, the L5 was a large bodied archtop aimed directly at the jazz market. The original models were F-hole acoustics with a trapeze tailpiece, floating bridge, and triple bound top, back and pickguard. 1950 saw a cutaway added and the body slightly enlarged. One year later, an electric version, the L5CES, was introduced. Single coil P90 pickups were standard until '57 when they were replaced with PAF humbuckers. The L5 remains a staple of the gibson line and jazz guitarists to this day.
