I love behind the scenes videos so it is great to peer into the PRS Guitars Factory and see what goes into making these beautiful instruments. The first video goes into the woodshed at with Wood purchaser Paul Platts. They should turn one of those giant slabs of mahogany into a giant fretboard, ok so not Mahogany as such maybe a giant slab of Pao Ferro! Paul Reed Smith himself is also great at explaining the processes involved with drying the wood which I think is fascinating.
In this next video is a demonstration of the CNC Machines & Tooling:
The next video shows the Truss Rod Installation and Fingerboard Glueup:
The next step is the Fret installation:
And naturally the “Inlay/Slot/Round/Level” follows:
What a fantastic set of videos and great insight into how PRS create such amazing instruments.
