Hmmm, wonder what's going on there. There's no need for that given that it doesn't have a locking nut.

After playing an ibanez with an edge for like a year now, even with the trem blocked and the locking nut parts off, i prefer to have fine tuners.
If for nothing else, it's because im lazy and i like to have strings clamped into the brigde.

Yup.

If you have the readies, they'll make a guitar as ugly as you want.

Love these factory tours. They make it look so easy. Would be interested in seeing pics from somewhere that make A LOT of guitars, like one of the squier factories. Nothing can top the Behringer village tour.

Probably not, but if you add Haggis and a golf club WE CAN PRETEND!

I didn't get a picture of them doing it, but I'm told that there's this one cat there who is just a wizard at it, and can shape just about any year or model neck you want, by hand, and from memory. I guess if you do anything long and often enough, you're bound to get good at it... but even still, that's impressive IMO.

Fucking A.
