Great video! Thanks for sharing it. Anyone else find it strange that they installed the pick ups with the strings installed?

I don't know about superb skills. The gluing was really sloppy. I wouldn't leave big gobs of glue even if it was inside where you couldn't see. And I'm not sure what's up with cutting next to the fret lines either. That just looks wrong to me. It looks like in some places he's on the line and in others, he's next to the line.

I did like all the various jigs and presses though. And the thing with the pickups - I think they did that so they can line up the pole pieces with the strings. The front to back placement seems to be eyeballed.
