FACTORY TOUR

At this station the shape of the guitar is cut. Here Mike Shannon (another original Charvel / Jackson employee) shows us a couple of the templates that are used in this process. |
This is the original template used to make Randy Rhoad's first guitar. Check out how small the headstock is. |

 |
Here is the template that is used for Dave Mustaine's King V double neck. |
The guitar's are then brought to this section of the factory for pickup and tremolo routing. |

The routing takes place using these machines. |
Here Mike shows us where we are in the process. |
