The CNC machines were not introduced into the manufacturing process until mid to late 2004; first with the bodies and then in mid to late 2006 the necks were added.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information.

Followup question. All my G&Ls were made the old fashion way with templates and pin routers. In decades to come, will these be worth more than the CNC guitars?

If that were the reason they became worth more, it would be sad.
