USA
While living in Texas we used the opportunity to see as much of the US as we managed, but the US is a big continent and we still have numerous places on our "want to go there" list ...
In this day and age, some tasks are still performed by hand and by skilled craftspeople. Luthiers needs several years of training and practice before they are allowed to produce a Gibson. It is a joy to see and adds to the craving for the product. We captured this shot at the Gibson facility (no, it is not a factory) in Memphis. It is an amazing experience to watch the luthiers work, and this lady is seen though some steel construction in the hall (gave her a natural frame!), her task was to polish the guitar – which she did with so much concentration, skill, and above all; love. Irresistible! After you have seen the amount of skill and work needed to create a Gibson, it turns into something more than a guitar.
