Just watched in full now.. this series is great and Hannah is a great addition.. I think the world needs a maximum guitar works one piece bolt on neck tutorial w/ jigs templates etc 👍🏻👍🏻
honestly for the jack plate cavity wiring access hole the jigg is best or coming in thru the jack route so the hole ends up at the BOTTOM of the control cavity, otherwise the pots interfere with the wires and the scratch plates doesn't want to fit easily, so you want the wire entrance below the pots, its a tight space, in the jack cavity there is plenty of room to move the wires around for clearance, I just bend them down and leave adequate slack . . . same for the ground wires, keep them below any components on control cavity side so they do not interfere with scratch plate fitment
Hi Steve & Hannah, great vid as always. I noticed you have the same problem with your humbucker routs that I have with my current SG build, an unsightly gap caused by the plate being wider than the top of the pickup. Is there anything that can be done to remedy that? Maybe some uber cool wood pickup covers? That would make a great video showing how to make and fit those :)
Them's some fancy drill guides! You'll have to demo them next time.

Awesome series!!!
i like the copper tube over the drill bit. great idea.
Love the drill press idea!!
Great video! But you did demonstrate the fallacy of slanted trem springs. If they are all straight they have the same tension.
I do it for clearance, not string tension…mainly because I can.
Ahoy there Steve and Hanna, Outstanding content! Thank you both for the deep dive into the guitar building process!
Excellent video. Thank you for making it.
Great work ❤

Love it..

I'm really enjoying your videos as I'm prepping to build my own guitar. I'm very excited for finishes in the next episode. Thanks and keep it up!
