How about veneer sheets for headstocks? Some of the Flame / Quilted Maple would be nice! If it was available separately so you could add as part of the build process.... Anyone else like that idea?

Enjoy the trip...
But, you know we'll expect a full video documentary showing the PBG kits being made when you get back, no pressure
Scott.
great idea Bman and Weirdy. They may not want video camera's in the factory in case we see some method or technique they may not want us to see but worth a go !
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
Would definitely be cool to see the techniques behind it if its allowed!
There is a video of a tour of the factory that makes Chapman guitars (and quite a lot of other brands) in Korea, I imagine the Chinese factory would be similar but without the dust masks and safety boots :P IE huge multi head cnc routers cutting 6 or more bodies at a time.

Thanks for all your feedback guys, appreciated. I will raise all of these issues.
I'm sure I will be able to get some video... I've seen some still shots from the factory and it doesn't look that exciting, but I'll try and get some stills/video of the various steps... and maybe even some shots of the actual Luthiers (I use that term loosely) who make our kits and guitars.
I'll check this thread again next Tuesday night, before the Factory visit on Wednesday.
Cheers,
Adam

all the best for the trip Ads, what's happening with GOTM judging do you want us to send comments/scores to Brendan or wait for your return?
