On this episode of Pointless History, we do a follow up to the very first episode about the Satisfaction Guitar played by Mark Mothersbaugh of DEVO. There were multiple Satisfaction guitars, but what remains the same is Mark keeps duct taping and attaching guitar pedals (or stompboxes, whatever you would like to call them) to his electric guitars. There are some new discoveries and new info about these guitars that I either failed to mention in the first episode or found out later on after the episode was published. From different guitars, discovering unknown pedals, and even guitars before Mark started covering them with duct tape and pedals. Some info that answers some questions, and then some info that brings us close yet far to the answer, but still unknown. Enjoy this episode of Pointless History on the follow up of DEVO's Satisfaction Guitar.

Update: The mystery guitar at 7:23 is a Supro Super Seven( thanks to "one remains" for the info!), and at 7:25 is actually a Fender Musicmaster (thanks to G L Wilson for the info!)
