For one thing, peter prefers traditional woodworking methods to the precision cutting and sanding technologies available to guitar builders today.
what's meant by precision cutting and sanding technologies?
and what is for one thing?

The "for one thing" is sort of like an adverb, such as "firstly". It seems unnecessary.
Precision cutting and sanding technologies means the sophisticated methods available to guitar makers today, as compared to the older methods of building guitars.

"For one thing" is a manner of speech. It is the same as saying "First thing..." or "One more thing...".
I don't specifically know the technologies mentioned in the passage, but the sentence is contrasting the older, traditional style of Peter's guitar building against the more modern technical styles such as precision cutting.
Hope that helps.

"Precision cutting" means to make a cut but with a lot of care over the cut itself with advanced tools. "Sanding technologies" refers to the machines that factories can use to sand wood instead of employing people to do it.
"For one thing" means that there are other things mentioned in other sentences that are part of the whole.

"For one thing" is extraneous and can be omitted.
"precision cutting and sanding technologies" suggest the most advanced methods of building and finishing guitars.
Peter prefers the "old -fashioned" methods of building guitars by hand, using tools considered outdated.
