im terrible with names but at 14:50 isn't that old lady the one who wound pickups for Jimi Hendrix, Seymour Duncan and her did a video a year or two ago

@rcschamp55 I appreciate your candor. That being said, I noticed you didn't say US citizen, which leads one to believe that many are over here on a work visa. I know that this is a difficult field and that it doesn't pay well, but I guess the point that I'm trying to make is that no matter if you go MIA or MIM, you're likely getting your guitar made by a Mexican anyway - so what's the point of going MIA unless you are obsessed with status and resale value? Not trying to be racist - just sayin'.

[vesicantwheatdrummer]

is there a part on the tour where you can build a custom strat or tele?(with a big cost of course)

[rcschamp55]

@projectgoatse I work at the factory and everyone there is a legal, upstanding tax paying person. Period.

[dyazRO]

@JosephODonnellMusic I'm wondering what he said then...

[projectgoatse]

When I bought my AmSpec Strat I thought I was supporting American labor. The funny thing is that shortly after I ordered it I checked out a different factory tour video - and guess what? You see a bunch of Mexicans working in the US factory too. Some of them are probably illegal or over here on a work visa to send the majority of their money back home. So much for supporting American labor. On the plus side they do quality work - only difference between MIA and MIM is quality control and resale.

Just a few corrections

1) That's not Broderick's guitar. Its just a customshop soloist that was at a NAMM show a few years ago.

2) That's not Scott Ian's guitar. It's just a soloist with a trans-natural finish.

[sabracadabra999]

what's the name of the song at 8:40???
