Banjos are easier to build than guitars. Some of the early instruments were very crude.

Woodstock was the climax of the hippie movement. Have you seen the documentary? The audience were hippies and the musicians were most certainly too. Some more than others for sure, but lets be real...400,000 hippies had a peaceful three days of music that will be remembered for all-time.
Hey, can you recommend some good music history books from this era? I am becoming kind of interested in this whole topic and I realize that my knowledge could probably use some rounding out.

Read Biographies/Auto-Biographies of artists from the era is a good place to start. They all tend to cross-reference each other.
