Smith is the magnetic, blond-pony-tailed guitarist who once fronted Saturday Night Live's house band and jammed with some of the biggest names in the business. What is less well-known is that Smith is one of the most prolific, respected guitarists and musicologists working today. 50 Watt Fuse begins at Fender headquarters with the production of a G.E. Smith--model Fender Telecaster guitar. Smith describes how such a guitar has taken him around the world to create music with his greatest influences. With thoughtful interviews and classic performances from Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Hall and Oates, Rosanne Cash and others, this is the curriculum vitae of an immense musical talent and quintessential sideman.
