Finally made it back home today and wanted to share approx 62 photos with you. Give me a minute and I'll get them all on here.

I'd like to thank John for taking his time to show us around.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the pics Sarge! Also nice to see John make the transformation from an Okie to a Cheesehead!

Quite an impressive shop...and incredibly clean! Must have been taken on a weekend when there were no workers!

Also...thanks so much for your service to our country, Chuck! [:Y:] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] [:Y:]

Thank you J.J. I've really enjoyed being in the military. I'll have 30 yrs next month.

It was a Thursday but John said the Boss wasn't there that day. There were a few other craftsmen there working that day. John burn up his afternoon break to put up with us. He is just a super nice guy.

Here's some more pics.

Last of the pictures. I have a few videos of John playing a few tunes that I will put on my YouTube site.

I couldn't believe how loud these guitars are. One of these last pictures is of a soldier playing a McPherson guitar and it was so loud I couldn't hear John talk.

If you ever find yourself in Sparta, Wisconsin I hope you have time to stop by and see the factory. It is just an impressive place.

Thanks for looking, and thank John for allowing me to post these pics. John is the second OLF'er I've met.

Chuck my friend this was the best pictorial tour of anything guitar ever posted on the OLF! [:Y:] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap]

What an amazing place and the technology was beyond anything that I have seen prior. It's pretty clear that McPherson went at this big-time and spared no expense to do it right.

Many thanks to you and John and McPherson for letting us all have a look.

This was a great tour. Let's see I want the mill, the CNC, the alum molds, the space, and the wood, especially the wood.

Thanks for sharing!
