Anybody know what these are?

Just took my neck off for the first time, and sent it to Aperio for a refret, and I noticed these metal things in the pocket, and the heel of the neck had one too, that didn’t match up location-wise.

What are they? Weights or something?

Probably the anchor points for when they where staining/finishing

At first I thought "micro-tilt!" but I agree with Slee. They must have felt that hanging from the neck plate/screw holes was bad for the wood or interfered with the spray.

Adjustable shims, methinks.

Or maybe they are the connectors to the buffing robot...? I.e., a fixed locator that calibrates to the movements of the buffer.

Anything on the neck at those points?

I think you're right. Production process artifacts.

You can see the body mounted at these points during the Godin production process at 4:20 in the timestamped link here:
