This video is first rate. It gave me a new appreciation to what went into building my guitar. I would imagine production models must go through the same process, albeit not by the same hands.
One thing that struck me...neither he nor his apprentice wore masks. I can only imagine what their lungs would look like after 20 years of fine sanding. Perhaps no masks for the optics and audio. Perhaps not...
Either way thanks for posting
I got a preponderance of opinion that it was Cordoba's response to the question of whether it was actually being used that was the primary concern, rather than the technique itself. They created a credibility gap for themselves.1. Note the use of a bolted on mortise and tenon neck joint. Some brought this up as an issue with the new Oxnard guitars.
I saw it mentioned a while back that thicker saddles give better intonation, especially in the A/E application.2. I think that his nuts and saddles are really wide (front to back). I wonder why this is.

I think TXbumper who originally raised the issue mentioned that that was also a bigger concern to him, than the fact that he could tell the difference in tone, himself.
I've lost a little confidence in Cordoba over it myself, when added to a couple of other service issues a couple of members have mentioned but chosen not to air here in detail.
Still, I see no reason to have an issue with a bolt-on neck if it sounded good to me.

No idea about the nut.
