This router table was built by George to route the edges of bodies for binding. 

 
  Close up view of the binding router bit. 
  View of one side of the Sanding Department. Note the variety of rotary pin sanders for the many contours of G&L bodies. 
  Another view of the Sanding Department, this time showing the vacuum benches where the detail sanding of necks and bodies take place. These custom designed vacuum benches pull dust particles from below the work surface. This helps keep the area clean so the Sanding Department craftsmen can focus on achieving perfect detail. 
 
  The vacuum benches show G&L pride. 

 
  Far view of a vacuum bench. The photo on the protective glass is of Leo, whose watchful eye is always present. 
  View of the pickup and electronics benches from the front of Final Assembly. 
  This is Amanda's neck fitment bench. Here she removes paint overspray in the neck pocket and trims the pocket to custom fit the neck. By removing the paint from the neck pocket, the natural wood of the body fully contacts the natural wood of the neck heel, contributing to the superior sustain and tone of G&L instruments over other bolt-on instruments.
  Very old back-up wax potting pan. This one is older than G&L but is still kept around, in part for nostalgia's sake.
  Here's Malcolm, Paint Shop foreman. Nobody paints more beautiful burst finishes.
