Learning how to build an electric guitar

Ok, the cavity is 1/8" wider. Now to slap it back together and test it. I had to cut the jack and ground wires in order to remove the guts, so I'll need to re solder those. Then I'll employ what I've learned about setting up the string height and radius, and then he'll show me how to set intonation properly. That's to do with the length of each string. Object being to get the middle of the string directly over the front edge of the 12th fret, so it's exactly one octave higher than the open string.
