The Watering Hole

I will never wonder again why a Hofner Beatle Bass costs almost 3k, and I will want one forever.  From making their own frigging plywood to hand slotting and seating every fret... this is an amazing ten minutes of guitar artistry.

jaw hit the floor at the freehand fret saw and inlay drill guy... holy crap!
Very Impressive.  One that got me was the dot inlays with a hand drill.  WTF???
Yeah, the inlay drill had no depth stop and he wasn't using a template.  He just eyeballed the right spot and drilled to the right depth. The neck guy was off the charts.

I still can't believe they made their own plywood.
