How Fender’s Stratocaster guitars are made (1 video)

Posted by on April 3, 2012 in Design, Documentary, Music, Products, Video

Though I myself am not much of a musician, this video provides a pretty fascinating look into how one of the most popular guitars in the world is made – Fender’s Stratocaster.

I won’t lie, being 2012 and all, I fully expected to see wood and metal whizzing through a bunch of over-engineered machines, lasers cutting outlines, spray-paint robots blasting the bodies of the guitars with blasts of lacquer, etc.  But it’s nice to see that Fender uses a lot of good old fashioned elbow grease and human talent to create their famous guitars.  Fun video.
