Beautiful guitar, but it won't be when that guy is finished banging it around on the table.
Doesn't he know there should always be a soft mat beneath when working on an instrument?

@LaGuitarreriaGnB yeah, even so called experts fail to realize that you need to set intonation in the "playing position"....not lieing flat on a table or you will get a false reading....especially on a bass guitar with a heavy neck

You should check neck straightness in playing position!! Otherwise you'll get a false reading.
