Anthony Rocco

Guy Cundell · From: More idle ramblings from South Australia

Can any member throw any more light on Anthony Rocco than is given on this memorial. Ideally I would love some confirmation of the Metronome article that this web page mentions but maybe there is another way of verifying the date of the photo.
An electric double 8 in 1936 seems to be the earliest electric double neck if this is correct. Would there be earlier 8 stringed instruments?

Thanks, Michael. Do you have some publishing details, perhaps?

Here is a link to an article on Rocco that focuses on the Tonexpressor pedal along with additional publicity shots of him with his double neck guitar.

His son posted years ago and that thread had lots of cool pix and info, plus an offer of Tony's music on CD. A search for Rocco will probably bring up plenty.
