I'll be honest, I don't know that much about guitar factories, but it is in Indonesia which is why I posted this here. I guess I was thinking more in terms of wages and what not, but if this looks standard then that is nice to hear.Am I missing something? The video looks like a regular guitar factory? Is it really a front for an illicit drug and gambling operation?
haha...I wouldn't because the guitars are ugly. Not because of some silly social commentary.
Thanks, well that helps. I'm just trying to learn what is considered "standard" safety when it comes to guitar building. Also considering that so much manufacturing occurs in Asia I wanted to see the board's opinion about manufacturing practices there.Well, I didn't see anyone chained to their machine. Didn't see any kind of overlord with whip in hand. Granted the machining was not CNC but, tried and true manufacturing processes were being used. Saw little evidence of quality control being exercised but if these guitars are a fail you can bet the market will reject them soon enough.
All in all, probably well worth a test drive.
There's no such thing as 'standard' health & safety for any profession around the world - what's considered unsafe in your country may be fine in another country for various reasons.Thanks, well that helps.

Exactly. Now I don't know what it's like in the USA in terms of Health and Safety laws, but in the UK they are out of control. You can't even fart without putting in a dozen forms and putting your building on full lockdown....There's no such thing as 'standard' health & safety for any profession around the world - what's considered unsafe in your country may be fine in another country for various reasons.
You can't expect the Indonesians to be following US safety laws.
