You mean like Bo Diddley?

Or maybe you meant The Ventures...



I just picked up a remixed Ventures CD yesterday. Kinda fun to go back to
one's youth once in a while. I had a small acoustical guitar when the
Ventures were popular in which I mounted a cheap microphone stolen from a
little Radio Shack, battery powered tape recorder. Then, I drilled a hole
through my parent's AM tabletop radio, mounted a jack in the hole and
soldered wires from the jack to the volume control potentiometer in the
radio.

Turn the tuning dial all the way to one of the stops, turn the volume up
full blast, and instant electric guitar, strumming along with "Telstar".
