Was fun watching this old film of the Fender factory.
Also the NAMM show with Speedy West, Jerry Byrd, Noel Boggs, Chet Atkins and much more.

| Thanks for sharing that! I have seen bits of this, but not the whole thing. Would have loved to have seen it in person. |

Not steel related but still amazing to see how it was done at Gibson in 67. I'll never complain about the price of a good vintage instrument. I'm guessing guitar building is nothing like this today. Still some very fine instruments being made though.

I've seen those wonderful videos before, but they're well-worth multiple viewings. Thanks for posting, Andy. The narrator, Richard Smith, is also the author of this definitive book on the history of the Fender organizations and Leo's subsequent endeavors:
Highly recommended. |

Paul, I just asked that question in the comments to the clip. Maybe somebody there knows.
Jack, I have the same Fender book as you. It's translated into German language!
