NOT true. They were disapointed in the pickups and the build, and that's what launched the vintage guitar and third-party pickup/accesory markets. It became more and more clear that the contemporary guitars from 70s from Gibson and Fender did not compare with their vintage counterparts. Wood quality went to really heavy relatively dead wood and lower output pickups made that even worse.You know? I often wonder if it’s the guitarist above the guitar? Because if you play one long enough? You know the nuances of it and how to work around the faults of it. I don’t think many guitarist played a guitar and said, “take that trash, I need a better one!” When it they were playing a Les paul. It didn’t matter, they MADE it work. Sure some sound better?
