Bought myself some maguires...

very nice result, you need to be perfect with black - great job

[Andy40]

Theres still little scratches everywhere, I think my micro mesh pad are stuffed.

New ones ordered from the Sandpaper man

Took the time to check the alignment of the frequensator, saddles and neck.

A500K's therefore presume they are all audio tapers?

How much room have you got to feed this stuff into the cavity? Do you go in through the bridge PUP hole before securing that PUP in place?

[Andy40]

Yeah all audio tapers this time Waz. I don't like the taper of the linear tapers. Also 0.22 caps also with my Rebel 90's

They're Gotohs so they only just fit through the F hole (the bottoms are fat as).

No bridge pup hole as its only a rout in the center block.......

One thing I forgot though, I doweled up the bridge post holes (because I'm putting on a trapeze) and there's no earth hole in the saddle post holes.

I'm assuming I just drill a hole and earth it to the base of the trapeze?

I'm also trying to work out a system using bullet type connectors (as few as possible) and trying to find out the cons of using them. So far I think they may rattle inside the cavity.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

yes that would work, or run it to where the strap button, or anchor screws passes through the trapeze at the tail block and ground there - as long as the two touch, and you don't have felt between the button and the trapeze anchor point.

You could earth at the bridge too if it's not floating on a wooden block
