The Lipstick Pickup didn't get its wings until I had a chance run-in with https://deeohgee.org frontman Matthew Paige in early '24 and asked him to provide Sympathetic Strings to my effort. I couldn't have done anything without his generous contributions and here is something from the lost first season, our high vibrational pass at the history of sitar in popular music.

À propos de The Lipstick Pickup Podcast with Emily Vardaman Walters

A lipstick pickup is an electric guitar pickup with a captivating sound and appearance that has a devoted cult following that grows with each passing year. True to their name, they were originally chrome lipstick tubes stuffed with magnets and electronics that were the inspired invention of Nathan Daniel, founder of Danelectro. Born from his genius instinct for innovation as well as his devotion to a "rigid cost control" philosophy, they were an essential component of the guitars that helped stoke an affordable rock-n-roll revolution.The Lipstick Pickup Podcast is an amateur (but very inspired), unscripted, rarely edited conversation devoted to the entirety of the subject. Hosted by Emily Vardaman Walters, The Lipstick Pickup Podcast is a fan-friendly primer on the subject of Danelectro guitars and their impact on the history of popular music of all genres.
