    Here is my build of a Gr-1sf in flat black with satin finish. Stock parts except one balance pot and shielded wire, with WierdBits custom wiring schematic: pickup selector, master tone, pickup balance pot, and master volume. It plays great and is almost as loud as a regular acoustic guitar. Thankfully the wiring is perfectly quiet with no hum. My one finish complaint was not having the exact shade of off white to match the binding (mine is slightly more white as seen on the truss rod cover) but overall it was the guitar I set out to make. Thanks to the forum for advice and encouragement!
    Aloha, Jeff
