#3rd Custom GR-1SF ‘Annylonation’.

It is very nice indeed. Just a slight shame that you couldn't run the pickup wire internally to a jack.

Maybe you could? Cut a socket in the side at the bottom and use a Gibson style jack-plate to fit it? You can then do all the connections with the internal lead outside the guitar before fitting it. Having the lead disappear straight down a small hole (to get connected at the jack socket) would look a lot neater than the lead dangling from the bridge.

Thanks, Simon. I also believe it could be done. Maybe one day, but I’m not too bothered by it. Perhaps because I’ve seen Gypsy Jazz folk playing with detachable pickups sitting in the sound hole with the wire hanging out. At least I think it looks neater than that.
