Before I head to bed I went and pulled the tape and cleaned up a bit of binding to see how it looks

The back is a bit rough because of the stripper dust but will smooth out with some clear

What's the plan for the electronics for this beautiful thing?

This is going to be my first attempt at wiring through the f-hole and output jack hole.Should be fun

As far as what is going in it,it's still up in the air yet.I was really thinking on using one of these

And maybe a set of p-90's

Hard to say.Since it is for one of the kids,and he doesn't really play,I might as well set it up with something I don't have,right?

You know the trick of attaching strings to the pots and stuff and running the strings through the pot holes. Pulling the strings pulls the pots into the hole.

When I got my EPI DOT I did a vari-tone and put in some 35 year old humbuckers. Fun is not the word, but I think you know that...

I have a mojo harness and switch/jack coming from a TDPRI member and had sent out another 35 year Gibby HB with a dead coil for an un-bucker rewind of the one coil and a 4 wire conversion

I am pulling the vari-tone in favor of a chicken head rotary to do some creative Page style wiring with the new 4 wire pup and upgrade all the guts. I am not looking forward to the excitement I can tell you.
