Moving towards a smooth and flawless finish, the guitar is inspected and then moved along to the hand-buffing area where several stages of buffing are done as the guitar starts to reach its full potential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0579\/1537\/5682\/files\/28.jpg?v=1720612041\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"I3UYPBM\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach guitar receives additional detailed attention as it moves toward the final steps.
