SKB Rotomolding

November 13-16, 2007 – Bill and I ventured down to Anaheim. We weren’t there for Disneyland, we weren’t there for NAMM (that’s in January). We were there to visit SKB Cases, the finest molded case company there is! The innovation behind this company and the technology that goes into ensuring the finest quality is amazing! So amazing, even the military uses these cases on a regular basis!

We filmed the processes involved and instead of the wood smells and aromas we were used to with the several guitar factories we have visited this year, we had the aroma of plastic… nice hot plastic. The nice thing is the place was we vented, so it really wasn’t bad at all.





I encourage you to look through these pictures! The factory tour will be coming soon on the Musician’s Friend and Harmony Central websites!

We had the opportunity to visit Eric Johnson in his studio and spend some great time with him! It was a great visit, with over an hour of straight footage captured per camera!

Below, the photo gallery, we added some more snap shots from the video. Keep watching this post! I will put a link to the video when it’s up! We believe it will be the best piece on Eric out there.
