It’s been done to death, but...really?

OMG, that poor woman, did she seriously do that same f*ckin tedious job day after day fo 57 years!

That’s got to be some kind of abuse, Fender and anyone owning these vile artifacts of this poor woman’s torture should be ashamed of themselves.

I think she found herself winding down in later years....

Perhaps she was actually shite at winding pickups , its easy to mistake different for better.

She was there when I did the fender public tour. Poor old lady mobbed by Japanese tourists who all wanted a picture with her.

really total marketing hype and somebody thought it was good PR to exploit her long service. Japanese customers lap her up and ask how did she wind jimi Hendrix pickup. Yawn like she had any recollection of any of the hundreds she made that week. 

The only real real difference is most of the non CS stuff is run on automated machines with no hand guidance.

but if it helps sell you guitar why not I suppose
