I suspect this was a large part of the reason. Folks didn't have guitar techs or necessarily carry a small toolkit all the time. I think I saw one shot of Joan Baez's guitar headstock in the concert with one loose string end, and I wonder if it was a case of single broken string replaced--which would be another thing that even performing folkies might do then, but would (almost?) never do now.
