So I've been attempting my first of these, and the box wasn't all that big, and by the time I had reinforced the sides due to it not being a neck-through design, I found that I had no space to drill in a 1/4" jack. Even on the sound board there is no room (mostly due to the amount of wood inside and of course the dog bowl).  Am I stuffed for making this electric now?  Or is there another ingenius way of making it electric?

I was going to screw the edges of the bowl onto the sound board but then it struck me, maybe I shouldn't do that as it might affect the resonance?  Maybe just the pressure of the bridge and strings is enough?

Any advice appreciated.  Just an experimental guitar, I've made plenty cbgs but this is the first dog bowl effort.
