The bass tuning on the front neck of the quad put him out of business.

On a related note: How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb?
...
It doesn't matter, the keyboard player can do it with his left hand.

Beautiful and so cool. Thanks for sharing this one!

Great find. The early 1960s were the last days of commercial art in advertising. Old National Geographic magazines are perfect chronology of the decline.

They could have just taken pictures, but they decided to have artists paint pictures.
