My tour guide was the lady in post 634. She was showing off the candling technique to us, so I bet she had worked on the floor previously, and maybe still did as needed. She walked through slow enough for me. We stopped in interesting locations for a minute or three, and walked past dormant areas quickly.

I also got the vibe that everyone liked working there. But I couldn't help thinking about how it would be tedious to sand the bracing on 150 guitars a day by hand.

I saw some things in your pictures that they didn't show us. The lady said it took a few months for a guitar to get made from start to finish, so I bet they focus on certain parts of the build at certain times instead of having a true assembly line where a board goes down the line and comes out as a guitar a day or two later after you allow for glue and finish drying.
