You will love it. The room Norvell plays in at the end is in the Visitor's Center in Corona, CA. And check out the "Necks" templates that are hanging in the Custom Shop in the picture scrolling section of site.

This picture made the mind boggle:

Look at the top right of the picture, and how the neck is close to the bridge. That must be for someone who likes really low action on the middle strings and don't ever bend...

Other than that, I thought that machines did all the fretting now, and that CS hand built guitars still had the frets inserted from the side, not hammered from the top?

IMO all frets are push from the top with a hand press machine

She might just be setting the fret wire in place for the press to finish the job
