Cruznolfart Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Just for grins 'n' giggles, in 1968 I worked for Ma Bell in San Francisco. I was a PBX repairman just starting out at $92.50/WEEK. My first raise was one dollar...per week. I bought a used 1967 Chevelle Malibu for $2000.00. I rented a unfurnished, one bedroom apartment for $90.00/mo. Gas was about 25 cents/gallon.

Duende Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I think they should produce a few 'donkey' historics too, just so the realism is maintained. After all, just because something is old and of a revered year of manufacture, doesn't mean there weren't the usual human hicups too LOL Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yeah, I can see this happening - as soon as wages also go back to what they were in the '50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myspace.com/jessenoah Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I wish gibson would make them like they did in 1959, with slight differences per different guitar, but with the right ingrediants like hide glue, inlay material and texture, a deeper top carve, correct positioning of tailpiece/knob positioning, real nitro finishing, analine (analyne?) dyes, correct plastic color and texture, the right font on the knobs, tuners that would dry and crackle,, wood that was air dried as opposed to kiln dried............. yea, all the right things that made the late 50s the magical time for guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started playing out in '62, I played with a few guys who had late 50, early 60 stuff and not ONE of them talked about it as if it were magical. Makes me wonder if my '62 Ludwigs are magic tubs now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
