I've made this offer a couple of times before and i've had a few people take me up on it. I just thought i'd throw it out there again. If you're going to be in the Chicago area and want to visit the Washburn/Parker custom shop, shoot me an email.
thanks,
Nick |

| Hey Nick, how about getting together a factory tour DVD for people that have no chance of taking you up on a personal walk about. Just please make sure it's available to the UK and Euro mob. Thanks. |

Nice photos Jim, I'm envious. In one of the photos, I saw a long row of Randell amps, I was wondering what they do to them there? I thought they were made elsewhere, is that wrong? Are they repackaging them for shipping out to various dealers?

Some more great pics from your good self Jim, I'm hoping Washburn can arrange a tour on DVD so that the UK and other off shoot colonies get a chance to "Wander Round" where some of our guitars are made. It would also be interesting if the powers that be could get together a similar project showing the Asian import facilities, seeing as almost every guitar that arrives in Europe is made there. These guitars are, on the whole, well finished and great sounding instruments and sell in great numbers to "Washy Heads" around the world. Come on Washburn I hear there's no shortage of camcorders over there, and I'm sure the employees would be proud to take part if they think that it would improve sales. Give Rudy a nudge he seems like a guy that gets things done.
Oh, and it would be nice to know if the "Very Pregnant" receptionist has a boy or girl strummer. |
