Have You Seen?

Here's a quick video of a tour through a Chinese guitar factory. They are making acoustic guitars. I thought it might be of interest. I found it interesting that there was not a lot of computerized machinery around, and that most things were being done by hand.

I'm going to guess that it is quite different from its South Korean or Japanese counterparts.

I would think that the proper response to that question would be, "Yes, I yam!"

I was actually expecting the working conditions to be really bad, but that video seemed to show that everything was actually alright. I also noted that a reasonable amount of care was being put into each guitar, which I hadn't expected.

Really cool vid! Anybody know what brand was being made? Those were classical headstocks.
