Nice to see the different pictures of the guitar through the generations
watching it being strung is painful, the vintage tuners posts don't help with that

Ex Hot Chocolate? I might be dreaming that especially as the HC chap usually used a Rickenbacker.
And the ex Auschwitz violin episode, where he planed the finger wear off the board, despite the board being a separate piece, he could have put on a new board and preserved the original worn item.
Weird decisions.
Funny how the restoration involved putting back all the bits that are lost when you actually try and play the thing, but at least the parts are there, and down the line it can be sold as a complete 60's Fender.
All kinds of wrong really.
For completeness, here’s the thread which David posted last time the episode was broadcast https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/155351/bbc-the-repair-shop-restoration-of-a-mid-60s-fender-jazz
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
If you look at the thread Roland linked above he said that it was splintered to the point you could cut your hand.
The show seems to have a very mixed approach to restoration, and each case is treated differently, I was talking to my mother about this, and I told her the story of EVH Frankenstein, she pointed out that it could have been treated to a full vintage refin if it had been taken into the repair shop, made me laugh anyway.
