I'm surprised to see that so much is still done by hand.

this is what I thought. Although, hand labor on factory lines is still pretty cheap. I was listening to NPR and they said that it's still cheaper to use human labor than machines, even by a US minimum wage standard.

I think the 70's headstock is the best thing about it! The rest I can take or leave.

Looks like an American Special Strat:
