Why arent there any vids showing a tour of the Jackson Factory?

[3reach]

Every other guitar maker has vids showing a tour of their factorys, why doesnt Jackson?


Maybe we should all send e-mails to them and ask for a company worker to shoot a vid of the factory. I'd love to see how they work there

Good luck. The website gets updated once a decade, so don't expect new stuff for a while.

Id like them to do what PRS does on youtube.. very cool how they show you how they make everything from 15k private stocks to Customs. and every step.

Love watching those..

The last time JCFers were invited for a tour, we were told cameras were not allowed

Theyd let you in, but then they would have to kill you. Ron escaped by the skin of his teeth. He side stepped the tour to check out the archives by posing as a security guard for Mike Shannon. Mikes afraid of being molested by the other tour guests. They all knew of his run in with Ed Roman and his stature, so he was a clear cut candidate for the position.

He was discovered by another employee shoulder deep in the filing cabinet near the end of the tour. Ron had to leap out the window in a blaze of gun fire into a trash receptacle just below the window. By the time security made it outside, Ron had already hopped in his Lexus and fled the scene.

I thought we all agreed it was a 1984 Fiero he escaped in?

No, no, now I remember, it was a Pinto. An APB was sent out regarding a brown Pinto with one male occupant. The car was so small and Rons stature made it appear that there was someone in every seat so he slipped under the radar.

Actually, I arrived in a 2001 Corvette that day!

OH YA, it's all coming back to me...

And left in a brown Pinto.

Well, youve seen the fender factory tour, its the same thing after the buyout, right? Rons adventure was all pre-fender.

Ron told me his was about two years ago I believe, and then some other forum admin and members came around 2003 to view it.

If I lived near there I would probably visit once a week and see if I can grab guitars straight after production lol. I doubt if they would let me do that though...

I would also apply for a job there, just cleaning up the place at first, then quality control, then learn how to build USA Select Guitars, then maybe become Pablo Santana's and Mike Shannon's apprentice. That would be sweet.

I toured when it was at the Fender factory, about two years ago. The video you posted, Ron, is not the same building.
