Very Cool!

Thanks for sharing that. I have to fly with my X Performer a few times this spring. I'm reassured.

Cool guitar making, but man, they should lay off the amateur acting...

At first, I kinda thought that too, but changed my mind. I think it's better to show the actual people regardless of their acting ability, or lack thereof. It's more "real". Personally, I actually found the IBM vs. PC thing a little cheesy.

Way cool process -- sooooo different from that of wood. No better or worse, just different. I have a Cargo and think it sounds great. Based on this, I can only imagine how good CA full-body guitars must sound.

Great video. I wonder if this is on Youtube? I could not view the video in larger sizes properly.

Anyways, I thought the two guys were hilarious - sure amateur actors from CA's staff but I enjoyed them. Perhaps having spoken with Gerd on numerous occasions helps. His deadpan look is hilarious. Wish he was still with CA.

Anyways, thanks for the link.

Cool video! Even by the end of a work day, that factory looks like it would be a lot cleaner than my house. On a non-guitar topic, all the carbon fiber cutouts would make great parts for all kinds of little projects.

I just hope we do not see a day where the only wood Guitars to be had are used and expensive. Not that CA Guitars do not sound phenomenol, they do! But they are not wood. The way we are using up our planet scares me...
