How old are these pictures? I believe some of their production methods have changed since these were taken.

What an eye-opening tour! Guitars being turned out like Twinkies from a giant factory full of time-clock punching laborers. So different than an operation like Ron Thorn, Jol Dantzig, Tom Anderson or Terry McInturff.

No wonder that stuff's got no personality. Even the Jackson stuff is racked up like loaves of bread. I would have thought that the Jackson shop would be a more hands on sort of deal.

Uhh it's just screwing together pieces of wood bro. Not brain surgery.

I think that's way cool that they crank 'em out that fast. They're still doin things like installing the neck dots by hand, they're just doing a rack of necks that are pre-cut to a shape a lot of people find comfortable at once instead of pretentiously sanding one neck for hours.

I mean if you want to drop a grip and then wait a few months for YOUR couple of pieces of bolted-together wood that's chill...but there's a factory crankin' 'em out every day in California, hahaha they have one in Mexico that makes decent stuff too, hell don't even mind half the Korean guitars I've played...

What do you think it takes to get a job there? I would love to spray paint a rack of Telecasters every day from nine to five.
