That's true.

But experimentation is awesome and it leads to sounds and ideas that nobody has ever thought of before, which enriches the human musical experience.

The quality of sound recordings and of live sound reproduction has also increased so much since those days - that now we can actually tell a difference in recorded tone from different picks or different strings or different saddles - whereas in the "war years" recording technology was in its infancy and didn't have the fidelity to do so.
