I figured I'd also appeal to the lazy and link to some photos I took of some fun gear touristy visits I made to the B.C Rich/HHI/Kustom/Spector head office, Schecter Head office and custom shop, and the Fender Artist Relations office.
Anywho, hope you all enjoy I certainly did!
HHI/BC RICH HQ
Hand made BCRs ready to be shipped out to customers
Hand made Kerry King Sig ready to be shipped out to the man himself!
They also own a firetruck cause hey, why not? haha
HHI also own Kustom Amps. Here's a bunch ready to be shipped out
This is where the final assembly for all hand made BCRs are done. The woodwood is done in Hysperia, California.
Final BCR quality check team
A random shot of the factory. It's pretty big.
HHI import quite a lot of random products. There was a large amount of various brands in here.
They also do Kustom Amps. This is where Kustom amps are created and wired!
A Grover Jackson BCR
Johnny Cash's P.A system. Just because, haha.
FENDER AR OFFICE
SCHECTER HEAD OFFICE AND CUSTOM SHOP
Quality Assurance team. These guys set up EVERY guitar that comes out of the factory.
As of mid April they only had 3 working prototypes of the Schecter amps. The cabinets were all ready for production already though.
They even have their own recording studio that any Schecter employee can use to record anything they want. So awesome!

Custom Moniker Telecaster
Last but not least, here's a custom Moniker Telecaster I picked up as well! 24.5" scale, 22 fret, maple fretboard and a custom image. Seymour Duncan SH5 in bridge, Hot rails tele pup in neck and an additional coil splitting toggle installed. Sounds huge and a really, really cool well rounded versatile tele!
They are priced really well and their online build creator tool is a lot of fun (plus their turnaround time is 4 weeks!)
