Remove the metal plate

A metal plate hides the insertion of the neck into the headstock.
Unscrew the tiny tiny Phillips screw with the appropriate Phillips screwdriver.
It's the only things that holds the metal plate in place at this stage.
Without the screw, the metal plate can be pulled out without any resistance.
