There are three parts of this build which have elevated pucker-factor; locating and drilling the bridge and tailpiece holes, finishing the top without wrecking the wafer thin maple and glueing the neck. I think most other things have some margin for error or can be recovered.
Well... one down, two to go.
Over the last couple of days I've layed out the bridge position and today I put my big boy pants on, took a deep breath and made some holes. Then I used PVC tube in place of the ferrules to do a temporary install of the TOM bridge and tailpiece with the E-strings in place. All looks good to this novice so onwards and upwards.
