je00143 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I was just wondering about how many Heritage guitars are made annually. My interest was particularly piqued because of two items: one, I saw how acoustic guitars were made (in a hurry, with lasers and stuff) on a a Science Channel program. And two, I just saw a Taylor Guitsrs magazine, where they said they were currently turning out 50 Baby Taylors A DAY!! Holy guacamole! And I can’t imagine how many Gibbers and Fenders are cranked out in a day, much less a year…...
yoslate Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 The number I'd heard kicked around for the last few years, before the economy really slowed, was 1200 +/-
FredZepp Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Just thinking about the numbers really puts things in perspective... It really is a custom shop.
chico Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 G-brand: 40 THOUSAND LPs a year pre-recession, supposedly. now that is cookie cutter
