- You usually only see this on American-made guitars; the Luthier's Union
- has negotiated as a term of their contract with Gibson, Fender, et al, that
- second and third-shift workers be entitled to six beers per shift (due to
- extremely hot conditions in the plants, and the fact that having to work
- these shifts has a significant negative impact on one's social life). By
- the middle of of a shift, all kinds of minor flaws are overlooked; as long
- as the guitar is playable, it goes out the door.
