I have some business in LA over the next couple weeks and wondering if I get some free time if there might be a guitar related visit. Nice shop, factory, music store?? Or fellow builder. Going to be in the Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario and Monrovia areas

Taylor is down there, and gives tours M - F, I think. Nice store is McCabe's on Pico Bl. in Santa Monica. Let us know what you do!

Both Rickenbacker and Fender have factories within a 1/2 hour drive from there but Rick doesn't have factory tours(I know), and I'm not sure about Fender. Fender has factories in Ontario, Corona, and Fullerton. As well as Corona Mexico but thats a long drive!

I am just leaving Southern California this weekend after a week long visit. Taylor is in El Cajon which is in San Diego. They have a weekday tour that is everyday at 1:00. All you have to do is show up. It is a great shop to see and even with all the CNC stuff there is lots of great stuff they do that could apply to the small shop.
