What factory makes CV pups?

I know many believe that the CV pups are toneriders and they may well be but does anyone know the name of the factory that makes each of these? Tonerider says they have their own factory on their website but I heard they are made inside a large factory?
Thank you for the help

They are made in-house at the same factory where the CV's are made.

I remember seeing something about that in one of the early, long CV threads. One of our members talks to the factory manager.

Not sure what factory it is, but in another thread the manager of the plant stated via email that they were made in-house, and that they also made Tonerider pickups there.

Turns out the CV factory makes both the CV pickups and Toneriders.

Here is what Eric the plant manager said.

Hi Mark,

Sounds interesting.

We made both Tonerider and C.V. pickups in our pickup dept., don't forget we are a OEM
factory! haha

Cheers,
Eric
