That's the idea and obviously exactly how I feel, you nailed it.

Or maybe I'm just saying that the studio tricks they were doing had already been done by the 40s, which makes the 1967 tag less impressive. "Not first" is actually not even an insult, it's just kind of a fact.

I don't know who was the first to prepare the guitar, but I do know that Keith Rowe was a big innovator in that respect. If you want to go further back to just preparing (or as you say, attacking) instruments, it dates back to John Cage and Henry Cowell.
