Gibson USA sounds like the name of a city. And it's fitting, because much like the urban centers, the main operating Gibson has a rich history and its own distinct bustle. Giant, computer-controlled body cutters and hand-operated band saws, sanders, buffing wheels, fork lift beeping, hissing spray guns and rotating pick-up winders make the air hum like a soft version of Manhattan rush hour.But the Gibsons, of course, made in Nashville, TN, and almost all the work involved in building about 2,500 Les Pauls, Flying Vs, Adventure, SG, Firebirds and other models are made every week by hand. Even automated processes - such as cutting wood blocks into the shape of the guitar body - is part of an epic ballet of scheduling that involves nearly 500 workers dedicated to keeping the guitar-making process runs smoothly.Gibson USA is a slow curve in the back of Massman Drive in Nashville. This is a vast complex compared with the first small shop run Orville Gibson in Kalamazoo, Mich., in 1894, or even a full factory that came later.
