I am amazed at the lack of safety guards and other safety equipment being used.  Also, look at how they are cutting out bodies and necks free hand using a band saw.  This is amazing skill.  But I think I might get a little bit bored after a few days of this.

I have been to the Maton guitar factory in Box Hill, here in Melbourne and they use giant computer driven routers to cut out necks.  This is much better for everyone but not quite as romantic as it was in Fullerton.

cheers,

Great video - how times change!  Wonder if any of those Strats are still around?
