We live in an age of mass-produced everything. Old-world craftsmanship is hardly ever found in anything. It's so great to see that it's alive and well at PRS. It reminds me of the violin shops I've seen in Cremona, Italy. Nowadays there's a blending of automation and handwork. Some C&C and laser equipment can do certain jobs better than can be done by hand. However, many operations can ONLY be done well by hand. I've got to tour the factory. The aroma of the wood, the colors, the attention to detail. This is a happy world to inhabit. There's a great line in a James Taylor song when he sings "The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time." I think they've got it! PRS private stock special instruments are unequaled. Thanks a million for posting the photos.
