For anyone who has yet to visit our shop, we finally have a virtual tour up online, courtesy of Google Maps. We just did the main room, and had them skip the tool room, office, spray room, and toilet. ;)

This is cool. I was wondering if live tours via periscope would be something OLF folks would want to do. We could take turns giving a tour and taking feedback from onlookers. Or in my case, recommendations to clean the friggin place up. :)

I did have to tidy up my bookshelf and tool chests a bit, and made sure to empty most of the trash bins. We also had carpeting done on the stairs and office two days before the shoot, which was convenient.

The guitars on my bench and Hesh's, a 20's Hauser adjustable neck and a 1960 Esquire, had just happened to come in for work the day before, so we didn't even have to get out anything fancy or special to artificially stage the shoot. :)

That came out good. I'm with Alex, another visit would be great. Well worth the drive up to the great frozen north

I'm really impressed by this technology and it was a no-brainer for us to have this done after we heard what it involved and included.

It's a good way to help folks be somewhat familiar with your business before ever stepping foot in the place and that's a good thing.

It's also amazing the resolution that they provide and just how far one can zoom in on anything in the current frame.

If you spin 180 degrees and look straight up, you will see the coolest guitar ever!

I like the shop tour! Good stuff guys!

What do you use the little buffer on the wall for?

We had to sanitize..... our shop first so that client names, etc. could not be read since the resolution is so very high. It's a nice way to visit without leaving home for sure.
