I missed the bit where he restores the factory routing to the top of the body. How did he do that??? Template, guesswork?

I don't remember whether or not he showed that.

Considering all the time he's taking, I hope his hourly rate is low.

No sign of part 8. I wonder if he gave up?  :mrgreen:

I was reminded of this thread as I saw something cool today. The guy routing my Tele has an Epiphone Rivoli body hanging up in the entrance of his shop. It is stripped of all hardware, finish and... err... neck!

He showed me the neck. The previous owner tried to make it thinner, but hit the trussrod in the back. He then kept the bass in the garden shed for years, so the rod is exposed and rusty. He removed the headstock veneer (any guesses why?) and decided to steam the neck off the body. On the first pass he pulled a fret, drilled through butt of the heel, and missed all the glue joins entirely. On the second pass he yanked another fret and was able to steam the neck off. Solid butchery.

He went to NAMM last month and just moved shop last week, probably too busy.

He must have been  listening to us. Part 7 is up. Progress is slow.
