In the ‘60s, Micro-Frets was a spunky challenger to corporate guitar brands. Decades later, William Meadors revived the name. But making memorable guitars—and making money at it—are different things.
Hey, thanks Brad! Yeah this one was a treat. I didn't share this in the piece, but I actually played a Micro-Frets Orbiter through a car's FM radio. Lifetime highlight? Possibly not. But kind of cool nonetheless!...
The podcast was interesting, a new one to follow. The stuff about the lasting impact/meaning of growing up in DC hit home, even though I was just on the fringes of "the scene" it still resonates in my thinking. Did I understand correctly that some Vile Cherubs played Micro-Frets, and if so, any pictures?
I was always a little curious about Mark Farner's oddball guitar and where it came from. Now I know! Thanks for the cool story.
