[Tadeo]

Almost finished. Any advice on where and how to place the string retainer.

Hi Tadeo, so its a JB-4M hey, you need to fit the tuners, assuming the neck is screwed on and the bridge is screwed in place. Put the strings on.
Assuming the retainer is a round one like the picture attached, place the retainer about the same position as the photo between D and G strings (bottom 2 strings) and when the strings are in a straight line to the nut drill the hole and screw it in. You may have to release the tension on these strings.
Please post a pic once it's done

[Tadeo]

Thanks. Having trouble posting pics.

There is a little wire in the bag. What is that for?

[Tadeo]

I'm thinking its solder.

Hi Tadeo, yes the thin wire dull silver colour would be solder. Have you done the soldering of the wiring ?
You might need your Mum or Dad to help you resize the photos to upload, they have to be under 1mb in size and under 1500 x 1500 resolution. Be great to see how the build is looking
