Riffster Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 That was cool, I bet the shapes of bodies and contours were all slightly different from guitar to guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG FAN Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Sweet vid Dem00n! If I'm not mistaken, they still make G&Ls in that same factory today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows...mabye a 59 you played was played by a dude with no shirt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nswcAPvH0P8&feature=player_embedded#! Thanks for posting this video. I've always wondered how the old fender factory was back in the 50s. Man, everything was practically hand made, no CNC machines that cut out the guitar bodies and necks. Everything was cut out individually from a jigsaw. Golden times indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky scott 29 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Oh yea, that was a great video loved it!! I bet that old dude in the beginning really knew how to run a bandsaw.. About 6:10 seconds in, were those women hand winding those p/u"s?? And I loved that screwdriver that you just pushed down on to tighten.. My dad had some of those lying around... Great video...

DB Cooper Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 That was golden. You could get an American handmade guitar for like 100 bones Yeah, and my father-in-law made $2.30 an hour and bought a house for $16,000... $100 now isn't even close to what $100 was then. ~DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
