I feel by this and sheer luck . Everything came together correctly.
The Stars were all aligned. Pickups came out great by accident ,
They cared about using the best tone woods. Hand made, not as many
machines involved . People Cared !
Exactly my brotha as Ive said many times people back then loved wrking with their hands, creating, useing the mind, pride whatever u wanna call it. Call it luck or whatever it was just different, I dont think it wa so much that they were so great, but Damn there was some craftsmanship. Kinda like a MAX a craftsmanship a desire to be the best one can
