How would PRS Sterilize Guitars???

[Rockmark]

As stated in PRS opening plans, it may take up to 20 different times to sterilize each guitar during the builds. Apparently the process will occur between each build station. I can't imagine with new paint, nitro, glosses etc. What do you think?

Quick dip in that 55 gallon drum of hand sanitizer they have...

UV?

UV?

With the dyes they use, I guess that rules out making any blue or purple guitars for a while...

The raw wood will be problematic - you can't just wet it down with alcohol all the time.

And any stained but unvarnished wood obviously can't be sprayed down with anything.

Maybe they're just gonna use the old "let it sit awhile" technique. How long does the virus live on wood?

I'm gonna change my answer from UV to Tequila!

I think Sergio just became a suspect in my latest viral pandemic conspiracy theory.

They don’t call me “Deep State de Blanc” for nuthin’!

Why on earth would they sterilize a musical instrument?

People are really getting carried away.

Don’t you usually cut the nuts for sterilization?

I would estimate that 1/4 of my posts are just @sergiodeblanc bait.

Spray acetone, works wonders on nitro.

Good for killing coronavirus internally too.

NERD ALERT! Most virus' do not survive long on raw wood, as the wood breaks down the lipid structure of the virus matrix. 2 - 3 hours at best. The sanding process will kill off more of the 'bugs' as will the chemicals used in the various finishing processes. So, essentally the guitars can roll off the line reasonably free of viral nasties.

The biggest threat to exposure and transmission is between the employees themselves. As long as everyone wears proper respirators, and avoids sneezing and coughing on each other, everything should be good.
