Default Furch Factory Tour Vid

I took the Furch factory tour several years ago. Looks like they have expanded a bit since then

Shows a good mixture of hand work and technology
Been A while since I did the Martin Tour and never did the Taylor tour.
I would assume that both also have a good mixture of hands on and technology working for them.

Thanks for sharing! So that’s how they’re working on mine!

At around 8:30, why is that piece of plastic between the tuners and headstock?

My guess is to protect the corners of the headstock from oops.

You can also see the same at the 7:50 mark.
