Well, as a non-guitarist I found it strangely interesting. I now know more about guitars than I did before watching it (how pickups work with magnetic fields, etc...) and also I now know of yet another thing that I would never, ever have the patience to do!
No, he didn't wind the wires round the pickups by hand - but then, from what he said of the length of the wire, it would have taken him a couple of weeks! And, I'll admit that I was fooled by the shots of him 'playing' the guitar at the end! As I say, I'm a non-guitarist. he comes across well, with some amusing comments - especially the one about someone owning a drum kit not necessarily qualifying them to call themselves a drummer !
More importantly, just after the programme there was an advert for a new series called 'My Generation'. The ad included the oft-seen clip of the Shads playing FBI on Crackerjack. I shall be watching.
