Hartley Peavey and Chip Todd pioneered the use of machinery
to replicate the features over and over again.
The machine developed to make rifle butts identical, could
make necks that had the same profile, time after time.
CNC machines were put to use on the other parts that were
machined, so each instrument had a consistency.
I have several T-40's and T-60's and the feel of each is the
same, with the only difference being between the early ones
(more slab bodied) and the later ones, which were more contoured.
They also laminted the necks in a way that Leo Fender later used
on his G&L range.
