Found this you tube link about guitar factory in hina. Doesn't look like patents or copyrights apply. The scene of the store room is just about the same size as mine (not!).

This is an example of globlization. A laborer makes about 1 hour of North Amercan wage per week I'm told. More power to them. I believe this will create more market for high end custom guitars as more people get into playing because of entry level products. Gibson, Fender, PRS and the like probably have more to wiorry about than the boutique builder.
