Video: the PRS guitar-building series - making the body

Over the last few months PRS Guitars has been diligently filming every stage of the guitar-building process in its US factory and uploading it to their YouTube page.
We've put together this playlist of the techniques involved in constructing a PRS guitar body.
All guitarists should know what it takes to put together their instrument, not only because it can help you understand a problem if something goes wrong, but also so you can develop an 'Avatar'-like bond with it.
DISCLAIMER: We are not suggesting you insert body parts into your guitar/amp sockets, you sicko.
Head here to check out the playlist.
