Welcome Caleb and very interesting first post. Come back often - lots of interesting folks who have a wealth oh guitar knowledge - specializing in the Guild Brand.

You make $15 flipping burgers outa high school here.

I can't believe that doesn't pay more, and the fumes. Lots great fumes...

I wonder though, are they doing any Relic stuff?

You can't make it on 20 dollars an hour in California.

My little town blues
I'm melting away
I'll make a brand new guitar
In old new Guild

If I can make it there
I'd make it anywhere
Come on, come through
New Guild, new Guild

Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New Guild, new Guild

These vagabond shoes
Are longing to spray
And paint around the heart of it
New Guild, new Guild

As someone who was born in Santa Monica and grew up in the San Fernando Valley, and then Thousand Oaks, CA (Ventura County, just down the road from Oxnard) it's hideously expensive. Transfer our old house to Ventura County and instead of $1400 a year in property taxes you can say probably $12-14,000!! The cost of living in CA is hideous. Car registration and licenses are more than double Nevada. People are leaving in droves!! They're gonna have to settle for untrained and inexperienced people, or up the ante..... not saying someone won't apply, but they're gonna have to get a second job. Jeeze....

To second what Tom said; I live in Ventura, about 10 miles from Oxnard. Ventura county is one of the most expensive counties to live in in the US. What Cordoba is offering is a wage you could afford to be homeless on, but not much else.

Yeah, they sure are moving to Texas, I can tell by the driving habits and no smile on there face, or even a nod, not like it use to be here of late. That's about all I can say here.

I checked out what a Journey Level Cabinet Maker makes in King Co WA, richest county in the state and it was a ridiculous $22 an hour, so while minimum wage - living wage - was set at $15 for King Co, skilled labor pay appears to have really stagnated. Compound that with reading a story just now about an SPD Captn who got caught soliciting a decoy Police prostitute, duh, has been on paid leave for 44 weeks they said he's collected $174k during that time at the rate of $98 an hour.

Same old sh*t, people who work their butts off barely get anything.

I wonder how much Fender/Gibson Custom Shop pay?

A couple of years ago, my nephew was offered a job with Ibanez over in northeast Philadelphia as a tech setting up newly received guitars. Was expected to do so many an hour, at a ridiculously low hourly rate. I forget the numbers, but it would not support the tolls and gas for driving, not to mention wear and tear on him and his car. Not surprised they have a lot of turnover in that facility. Now once he gets his permanent papers, he’s been offered a better position at Martin guitar.
