A photo of a telecaster-style electric guitar, disassembled into parts on the workbench: the neck to one side, the body to the other, the pick-guard in the middle and screws and screwdrivers around it.

A photo of a 3D-printed jig that has a recess for holding the headstock end of a guitar neck, sat on a workbench next to the work-in-progress guitar-neck made from birds-eye-maple.
