Nashville builds the electrics: Les Pauls, SGs, ES-335s, and the Custom Shop reissues that copy specific years down to the wiring and the weight of the wood. The company left Kalamazoo for Tennessee in 1984, went bankrupt in 2018, and came back, and its downtown showroom is now as much a stop as the Opry.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
