What amazes me is … What amazes me is with factory guitars and the high tolerances they work to, the frets still need to be levelled! I’ve watched a DVD called ” A Complete Custom Electric Guitar Build” (YouTube preview out there too) and it shows how a guitar is truely handbuilt – the frets didn’t need to be levelled either!
Godin’s are really … Godin’s are really nice guitars. If any of you are wondering, that’s a Graph Tech Ghost piezo system, you can install it on almost any guitar with TOM, Floyd or fender style bridge; it’s not just limited to Godin.
And yes, mass produced guitars have pretty much the same processes anywhere; with the exception of PRS, who’s manufacturing vids are on Harmony Central.
Never heard of … Never heard of Godin, but, it looks like a nice guitar. I’d like to see how the BC Rich bronze series are made…probably no where near as elaborate as this.
Pretty cool process though.
wow didnt know … wow didnt know curing time for the finish was so long!!!!
i wouldnt like to be the guy installing everytthing….. one slip and all that curing time wasted LOL
That wasnt a floyd. … That wasnt a floyd… It was a standard mounted tremolo system. FR standards float. Also, the hole in the back is usually covered by a plastic plate, to hide the springs. they just left that out. Along with a LOT of other steps. This is a pretty weak example of how a guitar is made, really.
Godin, I thought it … Godin, I thought it was Gibson at first because the Les paul shaped body, But in part one when they put the logo on it was Godin.
