They opened a SoCal plant sometime in the 90's and still do high end acoustic production in Vancouver. Family is split between the two locations and involved in guitar assembly on a daily basis. Jean his wife Wendy and his son Matthew in Oxnard, Son John in BC, I believe. It's a very cool company and they make great guitars. I'm really happy about this, got a GREAT deal on it.

All other acoustics and the burgeoning electric line is being made in Oxnard, CA.
as to the Jean's involvement in the mfg process....
