Factory tours?

[rockerjt]

Sorry if this is sort of off-topic, but does anyone know if they do factory tours at the SLO location? I am in Sacramento, not too far from SLO, and I vacation close to there on a regular basis. I'd love to see where and how these instruments get made.

Thanks for any info.

there are no regular factory tours, but BP did host a large open house in 2005, including a guitar factory tour, meals, jams, discussion panels with the artists and a final night artist concert. Also held a similar event at the string factory in Coachella last year.

Check out this old thread

It has four or five links to the photos of several members who were there.

Enjoy

Chances are you'll have to wait until the next open house hang. Last one at SLO was a couple of years ago. If another one materializes - do not miss it. You'll have the time of your life.

These aren't regularly scheduled events and happen when BP gets an itch to throw a party.
