今天偶然在GIBSON的官方网站上看到了一些关于GIBSON 工厂的介绍,看完后感觉GIBSON在对待每一件乐器都是非常严格的,即便是其量产琴,也是充满了人性的感觉,充分体现了GIBSON一种“以人为本”的生产理念。我选了一些截图,一部分,大家来评价一下

Vacuum Kiln(真空窑)
Maple tops are dried in this huge kiln, preparing them to be matched with mahogany backs and cut into a body.

Truss Rod Insertion(琴颈调节杆)
The truss rod is a Gibson invention that allows guitarists to add tension or relief to the neck. This is a raw neck and truss rod before the spline and fretboard are attached.

Frets & Fingerboard Binding(指板包边)
Frets are installed by hand (top photo), ensuring even pressure along the length of the fret for every fret.
Binding is also hand-installed (bottom). Some extra binding material is purposely left hanging over the end of the fingerboard.

Fingerboard Quality Control(指板质检)
A QC specialist check for high frets, uneven inlays and side dots, as well as gapped binding.

Hand Rolling(琴头调节)
The neck is hand-rolled on a belt sander, where it takes on its final shape.

Neck Line Quality Control(琴颈检测)
Another QC expert checks the neck just before it goes to the neck fit station, where it will be set into a body.

Body Line - Binding (琴体包边)
A binder makes the 45-degree cut on a LP Custom that allows the lines in the binding to match up.

Scraping (修边)
Scraping the paint from the binding is a meticulous, labor-intensive process.

Final Inspection(终检)
The last step in the process is final inspection. Here Benny Jones is adjusting the pickup height. He'll go over the guitar thoroughly to ensure the playability and aesthetic perfection. This is the last step the guitar takes before it ships to a Gibson dealer and distributor.
