Scarola Guitars is getting a new home in 2025! I am so excited about the new workshop and am really looking forward to getting the lights on in here. Benjamin Scarola took the drone out for some cool flyby footage. Shout out to Pine Grove Construction for the great work. Can't wait to get this under roof and start moving some tools in...
