GIANTRobOT42O Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 That was golden. You could get an American handmade guitar for like 100 bones
Tman5293 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 That was really cool. Thanks for posting it!
Riffster Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 That was cool, I bet the shapes of bodies and contours were all slightly different from guitar to guitar.
SG FAN Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Sweet vid Dem00n! If I'm not mistaken, they still make G&Ls in that same factory today.

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.
BigKahune Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Great find Dem00n ! Very cool, loved the background music.
Californiaman Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Dem00n, that's the best thing you've ever posted. Thanks
sparky scott 29 Posted January 13, 2011 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...
Rocky4 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Cool! I wonder how many employees lost fingers there?
DB Cooper Posted January 13, 2011 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
FirstMeasure Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Yeah, not a lot of guards on those saws That vid makes me want a Vintage Strat really bad.
sparky scott 29 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Cool! I wonder how many employees lost fingers there? That was the second thing I was thinking when I saw that..
