Must have shuttled the indentured children off-site for that photo shoot.

Although, I'll give those lovely little luthiers credit; my Custom came from the factory with no fret buzz, no runs in the paint, and spot-on intonation. Those little hands are skilled!

Pretty impressive. I think that Gibson made the right choice by moving Epiphone to a dedicated factory instead of a handful of OEM factories that make Epis today and ESP's tomorrow, and their own brands like Silver Star, Agile, and Indie on Wednesdays and Thursdays... or whatever their production schedule was!

Pretty cool seeing how G-400's are made, because I own one as of 2 weeks. I wonder if my Guitar came from there

I agree with the dedicated factory idea, but, still it lacks the personal touches IMO of the Nashville factory, don't get me wrong I have both Gibson and Epihone LP's, but when I can I choose to buy American, Thanks for the kink Flash, it was very informative.
