<p style="text-align: center;">Finish is finished! Tweed grill is installed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">You get the idea of how the colors follow the grain and blend.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Tru-Oil is for protection, not for shine. She'll look better once I finish the finish...…</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Electronics Day!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The element is similar to what's inside a Shure Green Bullet.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Frequency response is 60 to 6,000 Hz, perfect for harp.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is preferred by serious players over a piezo or a telephone or any home brewed solutions. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is all you'll see of the innards, I do some mods to the electronics and to the shell...</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Want to see? Buy one and rip it open...</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">The start of the gig case. Notice it's a complete box.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I learned the hard way many years ago making guitar cases,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it's more precise to make the complete box first, then cut it on the table saw.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This ensures everything stays square, the same size and the grain lines up.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I'll post progress pics of the steps.</p>
