Are all the holes in guitar bodies machine made, as opposed to hand made?

For example, is the hole for the jackplug in the same place on every guitar body or is there a tendency that it can move either way from those shown in the stock photos of this model?



For instance, in the photo the jack plug appears to be too low. Or is it just me fretting that a $3000.00 guitar could be a fake!

Your thoughts?

The standard bridge, and Philips head screws on the pickups & TRC mean it couldn't be a C64. That would make it a pre '99 325v63. Perhaps someone from Ric will comment on the jack position.

Yeah, that's a v63. I can always tell by the wide-spaced knobs.

The c64 appears to have a slightly lower jack.

Thank you for that feedback gentlemen. I just have an uneasy feeling about this axe. I think I'll keep my powder dry for a little longer.
I see its been re-listed again at a $400 discount. Hmmm
