I was wondering if anyone else has gone to the Gibson factory in Memphis, Tennessee. If you havent its really worth seeing, I just went and they show you how they make the semi-hollow bodies and such. The shop is a bit pricy..the most being $6000 but still you should go there. Really cool.

I've been by there several times on my way to Beale St., but never took the tour.

Still on my to do list. I've lived here in Memphis since January. I've been all up and down Beale and Union, but still haven't been to the gibson factory. It's right beside the Fed-Ex forum right? By the Rock and Soul Museum...

Dude.... even I've seen the gibson factory and I'm the confessed hermit of guitar tricks... Seriously, I never leave my house and I've been there. Cool place, lot of nice guitars. Too bad I was a bit intimidated by those signs that said something to the effect of "you break it you buy it." And I didn't have a wad of $3000 in my back pocket so I went very sparingly on playing. What I did play felt great though. I recall playing a grand piano that was priced at $30,000... only a few notes though. I suck at piano.
