Bob Sabellico around town with Les Paul
When I was just a small boy my older brother took me to Hershey Park, Pennsylvania to hear legendary guitarist, Les Paul, perform with his wife, Mary Ford. I watched mesmerized from my brother's shoulders and listened as Les, Mary and their son Gene, on drums, transformed my life with their music. I remember to this day how different their sound was and how it motivated me. Using a multi track recorder, Les played double time arpeggios and made music with his guitar that seemed to me like it came from space. It was the coolest thing I had ever heard.

Bob Sabellico's Workshop #2 "Me2"
I used the Hot Rod for the intro, melody and solos. The Duo Jet, I saved for power chords and rhythm and the Spectra Sonic baritone was great for the reoccurring deep lead line. I got a great tone coming from the Hot Rod and TV Jones pickups. The Bigsby provided amazing options for unusual solo lines so I tore in and had a lot of fun. What I ended up with was a wall of sound and a lot of new respect for taking the Bigsby out of the box.

Bob Sabellico's Workshop #1 "Another Day at The Office"
I started with my earliest guitar memories and went to work immediately on a piece inspired by Chet Atkins and Les Paul, two musical icons whose contributions to the world of music and Bigsby are endless. I wanted to show my extreme gratitude to them for their lifetime of work and their kindness to me when we had the occasion to meet. The song, "Another Day At The Office," is a salute to Les and Chet, my guitar heroes.
