Thats very nice, thanks for sharing the build, is the middle pickup still there under the guard?

Yeah, Gives me exactly what I wanted when combined with the bridge pickup.

That was a great start to a Sunday morning - reading through the build thread.

Good to see something taking shape from the raw materials, step by step, and big congrats on the finished product being so close to the original design (my builds generally go way off spec!).

Be interested in hearing the Fishman powertrem and what you make of it.  Like you, I'm a fan of the piezo equipped electrics (my current favourite self-build has a Ghost system), mainly because of the options they give with IRs more than the typical raw piezo sound.

Reading these threads makes me half-think about starting another build myself ... 

Congrats Jon - nice build!

Thanks! I am loving the piezo, but having said that, I do like it with some delay, reverb and maybe a tad of chorus rather than just dry. It's such a satisfying sound when strumming chords, so much nicer than just regular pickups played clean.

Looks amazing!  Fantastic build.

Wow, looks great! How did you darken the body wood where the paint has been reliced?
