Is this the factory that was inherited by Heritage Guitars? When Gibson moved out some of the workers took over and started creating their own ‘Gibson’ range using all the original tools.

Yes, I think so (having looked it up - the link below references Heritage guitars). Must be Kalamazoo in the film given the dates:

Some footage from the Gibson factory in 1967.

Obviously some terrifyingly casual health and safety things (spindle moulder at seven minutes looks particularly lethal), but some lovely stuff in there as well.
