Factories need speed of production to maintain profit.

BTW, I had a friend that did set ups at the custom shop. he told me they had 3 minutes per guitar, timed with an egg timer.

Damn, Roman, Three minutes! Cacky! as the Dead Aussie said ( Sad, I like Steve.).

My '07 R9 is goin' to my tech Kenny's place real soon. The setup is still OK, but I'm sure he will tweak it even better. Mainly putting in the Tonstylers, the new WB 7607 Pickups, and tome push/pull pots for series/parallel fun.

My '06 R4 Custom has a completely different feel and setup. I'd like it to play more like the pleked '07 . It will be looked at by ken as well, plus we'll be shilding with copper and grounding as much as possible since the darned P90 & Alnico setup is so noisy.

I love the P90 with gain, but the noise quotient is up there. Now I know why so many folks forgo them and get humbuckers. I love theri tone though, so I'll fight with them for a while.

I like that. You want me to make it into a button? I have a pro button machine. We make custom buttons and sell them in our store. I'll do a few for free for ya if you want.
Sorta an MLP friendly thing to do as it were.
Our best seller lately is
"Don't Taze Me Bro" With a couple of lightning bolts on each side
