Setup benches

The setup operations are upstairs away from the dust of the factory floor operations. Here is where all of the non-wooden parts of the instruments come together: frets, strings, nut, bridge, tuners.

 

Also, more elaborate & decorative elements are installed, such as purfling / binding around the body and soundholes. It is interesting to note that from this point on most of the instrument augmentation is visibly quantifiable. Meaning that the precision is critical. However, a SIGNIFICANT portion of the sound quality has already been determined.
