Caught this the other night and found it be an interesting look at electric guitar history

I have this one recorded and it's not bad.  It actually does a really good job of explaining this thing called an electric guitar for the layman. 

The one issue I have is their insistence that the Fender Stratocaster is the "crown of creation" of the electric guitar. (couldn't resist the Jefferson Airplane reference)
