A 12 yr old can do it easily.

I give Pats guitars more credit for his photos than guitar assembly skills.
You know Mark...a Statement like yours shouldn't even require a response on my part....but I'm guessing quite a few members here, who have built the Guitars of their Dreams, using Fender, and various aftermarket parts....and performed a Set-up way beyond anything one might get from a Factory Guitar......might Strongly disagree
w/your Blanket Statement....unless perhaps you know some 12 yr. olds that have years of this kind of work, under their belt....(if they wear Belts ?)
