	Radius on a Legacy® fingerboard being shaped on one of the machines designed and built by Leo Fender. This machine is a replica of those he used in the 1950's and early 60's.
	ASAT Classic neck is having the back side of it shaped on a special belt sander. This is another machine designed and built by Leo. Note the craftsman is completely responsible for the outcome of the neck shape, as there are no aids of any kind.

	Two ASAT bodies after tape has been removed from newly glued binding.
	In the sanding department, a Legacy Special neck is being rough sanded before hand sanding.
	An ASAT Special body is having all excess paint removed from the neck pocket. We remove the excess paint to allow the natural wood of the body to fully contact the natural wood of the neck heel for maximum resonance and sustain. This process is time consuming and required great skill, but the excellent results of the finished instrument are well worth the effort.
	At the fret dressing department, an S-500® neck is having its frets crowned.
	A Legacy body is receiving its first clear coat in the paint department.
	An S-500 neck is being sprayed in a satin finish.
	After the top coat of clear hardens, the finish is wet sanded to level the paint and remove any surface defects.
	Another picture of the wet sanding process, here showing the arm relief contour on a Legacy being worked on.
	In the polish department, the first buffing procedure after wet sanding is performed on an L-2000® body.
	A completed Natural finish George Fullerton model body shines perfectly in the light.
	All G&L pickups are hand wound to Leo's specifications, using an electric pickup winder designed and hand built by Leo and George.
	In the final assembly department, a Candy Apple Red Legacy is having the ground wire to the bridge prepared for electronics assembly.
	Also in the final assembly department, an L-2500® bass is being set up.
