March 19, 2009 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Taylor Guitars, El Cajon, San Diego County, California Taylor Guitars is located at 1980 Gillespie Way in El Cajon, San Diego County, California   I 1974 åbnede 18-årige Bob Taylor og 20-årige Kurt Listug Taylor Guitar fabrikken i El Cajon i håb om at de ved at bygge guitarer kunne undgå at skulle have "rigtige" job og chefer. Siden har Taylor Guitars gjort et respektabelt indhug i det internationale guitarmarkede. I dag fik vi lov til at gå fabrikken igennem og se, hvordan guitarerne bygges, og jeg fik rent personligt fornyet mit fortsæt om en skønne dag at gøre alvor af at lære mere end tre akkorder. In 1974 18-year-old Bob Taylor and 20-year-old Kurt Listug opened the Taylor Guitar factory in El Cajon, hoping that by building guitars they could avoid ever having "real" jobs and bosses. Taylor Guitars has since captured a significant chunk of the international guitar market. Today we got to tour the factory and see how they build the guitars, and personally I renewed my resolution to some day get serious about learning more than three chords.       Det hele begynder med en masse ganske almindelige bunker tømmer. Okay, ikke ganske almindelige. Meget fint tømmer, faktisk. Mahogni og indisk rosentræ og så'n noget. It all starts with lots and lots of perfectly ordinary piles of lumber. Okay, not perfectly ordinary. Very fine lumber, actually. Mahogany and Indian rosewood and that kind of stuff.     Forsiderne udskæres med laser... The fronts are cut out with a laser...     ...og dekoreres. ...and decorated.

Gribebrættet skæres til.... The neck is cut out....       Siderne bøjes.... The sides are bent...       ...og monteres. ...and assembled.

Nu begynder det at ligne noget! It's starting to look like something!         Lakering ~ Finishing

Day Camping/Boondocking Information The Taylor Guitar Factory is not a suitable place for day camping. While the factory's private parking lot is large, it is both crowded and long and narrow, and it would be difficult to park any sizeable RV here. There is some curbside parking, but this seemed to also fill up quickly. The lot is private and is not available for overnight camping/parking.
