Warwick Factory: Birth of a Thumb

Warwick hand selects all the wood that goes into making their Warwick and Custom Shop Basses. After going through a minimum 3 year natural drying process, the planks of wood are put on Warwick’s 5-axis CNC router. A 5-axis router allows for more efficient routing, as well as being able to make curves and angled cuts a normal 3-axis router is incapable of. Here is just that process sped up twelve times the speed of what it takes to route a complete Thumb body.
