The other little fix needed; when lining up the PUP two holes were in the right spot and two weren’t.
Errant holes filled, ready to be re drilled for accurate positioning.

Envy. You have a new hub cap for the body-snatcher cart.
cheers, Mark.
So we set up and went for it on the preamp mounting.
The template was attached on packers to the taped off body by the masking tape and CA glue trick. This is not an approach for the faint of heart or weak of bladder!
So we ended up with this:
There are three cables that run off of this, the feed from the piezo, the battery cable and the jack cable. I toyed with the idea of running them straight down into the pup cavity and through the hole I’d drilled for the pup leads but elected to punch straight through to the soundwell instead.
Now I will need to sort out the cover plate and it’s mounting, then deal wth the battery box rout and all of the assorted electrickery that goes along with them.
Then, we will think about it’s headstock shape.
