I tried to do an engraved silver type design on this one for the customer.
The fret position markers light up when you play it.
The big F hole and big 6 tail piece are new parts.
This one will also get a Bob Harrison pickup later today

I forgot I had an old video here is one I built a while back with lights in it.

Now the switch on this one was actually triggered by the steel slide when you put the slide down across the first 2 strings it connected the circuit and turned on the lights. Works great on an acoustic but on an electric not so much!

Yeah it is kinda hard to photograph it.

They are automotive LED lights on a strip that have a sticky side.

The kit comes with a switch and a battery pack with a bunch of little watch batteries. Just to test them out at the store. But from my experience the battery pack that comes with it lasts for years as long as you use it intermittent like this.

Could we see her lit up? Perhaps it would be hard to photograph? Love the art work and fretboard.

Beautiful. Makes me want to learn lap. Enjoy playing her in good health.
