I guess they didn't shoot any footage of the guy who sprinkles Mojo on the guitars... [youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nswcAPvH0P8&feature=player_embedded#![/youtube]

:icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: My amp was made there! OTOH, watching the dude cut the bodies and necks... wonder how many fingers he has today?
Very cool! Yeah, those guitars they're making in the video are worth some coin now aren't they? :laughing7:

1959, and nobody's wearing hats or smoking cigarettes? WTF?

I liked the final test being done by a sweaty guy with no shirt :headbang: Edit - where did this footage come from? I never even knew it existed.

Thats pretty awesome....man the people from the 50's were so BA. Personal injury? what the hell is that?!
Back then, there was such a thing as personal responsibility. If you screwed up, it was generally your own fault, and everybody knew that. Now, it's grounds to sue somebody into insolvency. Placing blame elsewhere and charging for it has become the national pastime.

And the sad thing is that there is now a parking garage where that was filmed. I've parked there many times while picking my husband up from the train station.
Don't understand longing for the days when life was cheap in the US. For all the problems there are now, things are better for just about everyone.
They pave paradise to put up a parking lot :icon_scratch:
I love it. Old guys like me call that Mecca and go there after the NAMM show and tell stories of people we know or met who use to work there and get all teary eyed. :laughing7: I was just talking to one of my friends this morning about how much I would have loved to spend one day with Tadeo Gomez. Thank you for posting that I had not seen it before.

That's not what I meant by life being cheap, but nevermind.
