His explanations seemed like current thinking post dated to fit the story. For example, he explains he modified his guitar by adding a pickup because he couldn't afford a distortion pedal - a good pickup can easily cost as much as a distortion pedal. Hey, I'm all for modding, but just be realistic that you're doing it for the fun of it.

Those would have been significantly cheaper than a distortion pedal, especially considering that most amps and pedals were still hand-wired.
