I just took a factory tour 11.21.2019 (afternoon). Jason was my tour guide. He now works with Private Stock. Super nice guy. Great tour. I just stumbled on this video ... wish I has seen it before I went. Could have given him a hard time :)
I've been building guitars for a long time. 220 grit is ridiculously low for sanding clear coat lol. Its would have to be so thick that its a complete waste of product and money, not to mention the waste of time and sandpaper from having to start that lowl. Fons negentienachtenvijftig
what grit is "superfine" in this vid?.. i have a pile of PRS's & other top shelf guitars but also like to build myself...i do what i can in tiny garage shop and these vids are really awesome for a hobbyist like myself!!
Wasn't some of this process replaced by the robotic arm? (seriously) This is an unenviable job - one of the hardest, most tedious parts of producing a quality guitar.
The trickiest part of guitar building done to perfection.

Great job Jason! Truly a masterful craftsman! Cheers!

This dude's finger game must be on point.
How thick is that clear when you can 220 sand it haha
@JgHaverty Its thick but these guys know exactly how to sand the most off to where the layer is real thin. To be a good Sander takes some practice.

But the end product is one of the most perfect finishes on the market, the must know what they are doing don't you think?
@JgHverty It is what I said it is, but you go figure it out. You can always go visit the PRS factory and take a peep.
JgHaverty dude this vid is old, they don't use 220 any more
Wait……you’re a 220 sander and you’re sanding with 320 and 400?? You’re breaking rules man……. 😂
This guy knows what he's doing. I wouldn't dare using a power sander on a PRS... not even on a cheap guitar kit...

how many guitars can u sand in an 8 houre day??
Good work, but why not wear a dust mask. 2K acrylic is your lungs' best friend ;-)
WEAR A MASK
Downdraft sanding table....and it would beard to hear him from under a mask.
He does not talk while using the sander….sander makes a LOT of noise.
You're an idiot. He's giving an interview
remembor no dips
Watching this video made me feel as if I'm watching a rape scene...
