Okay...here is my non-artist visual of the Factory tour.
Step off of Limo Shuttle. Walk into warehouse. On the right is all the beer you can drink. On the left is all the food you can eat. Walk in further and opens up into a room of fancy tables, a big stage and a room with BFR instruments for you to sample. On stage are artists talking about instruments and answering questions the Knuckleheads are throwing at them. Proceed on to the back of the room and a curtained pathway takes you by Bathrooms on the left. Go a little further and you proceed by the employee cafeteria where the employees are offered up free catered lunches daily. Proceed further down to were you will see the hard working employees demonstrating their jobs.....who by the way offered to be their on their day off, to show us how the strings are made, sounds like happy employees to me.... We continue on to the different stations where the employees demonstate the manufacturing and packaging of strings etc. Then we proceed into the warehouse to see where all the products are stored and ready to roll. Then on to the offices where the hard working techs and admins are located. After that we proceed back to our fancy tables to enjoy top of the line Barbeque chicken and ribs and then a private concert from all the artists, including BP himself.....
DOES IS GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.....THANK YOU BP AND STAFF!!!!
LOL...I was going to try and go into detail on the actual making of the strings...but that is Top Secret. Besides it would have came out something like this..... "That machine thing sent out that thingy and attached that doodad to that contraption" So I better quit while I'm ahead...LOL
You know, Chewie, some threads are like farm-raised catfish, born in a laboratory, fed a bunch of corn and destined to behave like every other catfish in the pond.
And then there are those free-range catfish.
This thread was born to live free and wild, like a, um, catfish.
Sorry my comments were misunderstood guys , I was just looking at things from what I thought was humor and it came off wrong .
This is a tight group and I stir it up but that is never my intention . I get along great on a couple other forums I enjoy but so far i'm walking on eggshells here .
Here is my first post on this forum just so you know who I am a bit.....

Now I'll sit quiet and go hang myself out in the garage.
