    Very interesting video! It's great to discover many similarities with our own bookshelves. For this writer it all started with American Guitars by Tom Wheeler. André Duchossoir's books will alway be outstanding: written by a french author and finding the first edition of The Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Electrics in Paris while visiting Magnetic France, a great vintage guitar store owned by Patrice Bastien (Guitar Express).

    Hello Zak. Great story on Buck's guitar. I was honored to work for Buck and his sons at KNIX radio in Phoenix for 8 years. It was one of the stations he owned for 30 years. I was on an Advisory Board to the Arizona Music an Entertainment Hall of Fame in 2007 when we inducted Buck into the Hall. His son Buddy Alan accepted the award on his dad's behalf. I helped with his induction that day and then one of the best Christmas gifts I could ever get was a BUCK guitar with my name engraved on it. It came from the Owens family because Buck had already passed but I love and cherish it to this day. I was at his funeral in Bakersfield in 2006 and so was Brad Paisley, Dwight Yoakam and Garth Brooks who was a pallbearer. The best years of a 50-year career in country radio was working at Buck's radio station.
