Answer 2

The fact that Japan was producing a lot of transistor radios had come to the attention of the United States and Perry was sent over to bring some of them back. Also, while he was there, he heard that they were producing a lot of cheap guitars and he placed an order for millions of them so that the children in 1854 could get an electric guitar for Christmas that year.

Answer 3

Bill P points out a tragic, little known "what if" of American history.......all those millions of guitars were lost in the Bermuda Triangle on their way to the States; had they not, the kids of the North and the South would have been too busy practicing their chops to get involved in the Civil War, and we would have had Rock and Roll nearly a century before we did,
