RE: how factory guitars are made (in reply to kudo)

Always wondered how Godin (the manufacturer we see here) could make such affordable jazz-guitars (5th Avenue-series) in a high-wages country like Canada. Or how PS managed to make my all-solid cypress, ebony, spruce flamenco guitar for 650 euros (without case, OK). When producing this quick, it starts to make sense.
