 This is the lobby |
 That one's carved up like a statue |
 We're rolling through the offices now and meeting some of the employees. Wow, that's a super old SPoT deck. He has a Slipknot shirt on. Double wow |
 Clem approves of this ax |
 The warehouse is huge |
 Some of their guitars are made overseas. When they come in, it's these guys' jobs to jam on them to make sure they're all good |
 Of course you need the Lambo to be a true rocker |
 This wood machine carves out the necks |
 That's Curse from the Marketing Department. Looks like they're carving out some new ones here |
 This machine carves out the base |
 Protect ya neck |
 The whole time the guitar pieces are getting sanded, this vacuum thing below the work stations is sucking up the sawdust, running it through tubes in the roof, and dropping it all right here in these large bags |
 Curse is showing us one of their new signature models in mid-production |
 They make some crazy custom guitars. I can't remember which musician this one is for |
 The musician's notes on what he wants done to his guitar |
 This reminds me so much of a skateboard factory |
 Hippies love peace signs and guitars |
 This is their customer showroom |
 You can start a bitchin' hair band with these |
 The detail on some of the custom guitars is amazing |
 The don't just make the hair band guitars. Thanks for the tour and thanks for contributing some amazing axes for Tampa Pro prizes. Check out DeanGuitars.com for more from them |
