Made in America TV show...Les Paul factory


Did anyone see the cable tv show "John Ratzenberger's" Made in America show last night? They showed how Les Paul guitars were made at the Gibson factory. I missed the first few minutes but seeing the workmanship and skill that goes into building these guitars is incredible. Gibsons are truly handcrafted to perfection. They showed the quality control technician setting up and playing a newly built guitar. No guitar leaves the factory unless its perfect.

Makes me wonder what goes into making the Epiphone imports like my LP standard. Its a great guitar but I'd like to see how they are built compared to the real thing.

I hope it gets re-run eventually. The show is on the Travel channel. Wednesdays. It was really cool to watch.

Made pretty much the same way. Just cheaper hardware and by a lower paid culture.
