Last few construction photos

One afternoon I received this very excited email from Kirk Sand: "I just strung it up, and it sounds great! Right away! I can't wait to get the electronics in it!"


Here are a few more photos he sent that day. First, installing the Prismatone pickup . . .


A perfect fit! Kirk fashioned the bridge to receive the Prismatone without the need for intonation adjustment screws.


Now, stringing it up . . .


Beautiful! Kirk used D'Addario ProArte Extra Hard strings, with a Savarez Alliance 3rd string.


Here's a closeup of the bridge/pickup area.


And a view through the access panel.


Looking good!


Now, deciding on the input jack location. Endpin or side?

Next time- installing the preamp and wiring!
