Learning how to build an electric guitar

I did take it home, and I gotta say, it plays better than it ever did. Ever. The action is wicked low and light, intonation is on point (he uses the 1st & 13th to set that, btw. I asked why and he said that occasionally you've got a nut in the wrong spot, but the octave is more reliably perfect from one fret to any other 12 steps away.)

So in all it cost me $400 total. I've got to let it adjust to having strings on again for 2 weeks and then take it back for a 'little kiss' on the 13th fret.
