Whilst on the subject of "visiting" has anybody out there been to Gracelands Memphis ?

If so are the passes worth buying or is it best just to rock up?

Yep, I'm about an hour from Graceland. Its been years since I've been there but I t's worth seeing. Matter of fact, we may go next time we're in Memphis just because I've not seen it in a good while.

Well, I've been to the MM factory and, as stated before, they don't do tours.

I wasn't even allowed to take a picture inside; the gentleman at the reception was very polite and helpful but there was no room for discussion.

The huge outside factory door was open and I could have taken pictures but out of respect, I didn't.

Of course I'm a bit disapointed but can't complain : I HAD BEEN WARNED before! MM are are in the guitar producing business not in the tourist entertainment. :)

It was only a 10 minutes drive on my way from San Simeon to LA so I have no regrets : I still saw where these fantastic guitars are produced and I'm looking forward to receiving my PDN 2016.

Maybe it's time they reconsider that stance. I guess it would have to be a business decision , but it could be even be an income generator. I'd pay to see part of the inner workings or some little guitar museum or something - like a room full of old prototypes or something. I'd part with my cash for that. Maybe it could be something on,y open X number of days per yer. I dunno, just seems like if a guy is over from Belgium and is an advocate of the product, a little special treatment would be good business. But then of course everyone wants special treatment. Tough to find the line
