You sure about the SLS? That top horn looks awfully long. I'd say a Demon of some sort.

Oops, you're correct, didn't even notice the long horn.

And it is a bolt-on neck.

Don't believe the hype.



There's no telling why that guitar is there. It's possible they're just using it for measurements.

I doubt Eddie's guitar has a hang tag on it [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Well, considering Jackson doesn´t produce in Mexico, and the most obvious thread title was "Photos of the Fender Corona Plant", and that Corona is in California.....

I think I think it´s safe to say that this was the Australian facility [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

They have quite a few guitars in progress, does anybody know how many they crank out in a month?

Great pics. Thank you for posting them.
Funny to see sooo many south of the borders employees. People chastise the MIM stuff as crap. Well in essence those guitars are made in Mex, even the CS Team Built guitars!!!
Thanks again dude, that could be a cool place to spend eight hours a day and still get a paycheck.

With all the replicas around wouldn't you need something to identify it?

Re: Photos of the Fender Corona Plant

Btw it doesn't look like there's any CNC machinery in the J/C part; from the look of these pics, I would guess the J/C bodies and necks are made alongside the Fender bodies?
There are at least two pics of J/C bodies in the Fender part, on the left rack here:

(That's a Phil Collen and a Charvel body, right)
But then, this may be just the sanding station.
