The bridge is a piece of 14 gauge sheet metal, 1/4" round steel, 2 8-32 screws, and 4 8-32 nuts. The sheet metal is tapped. 1 nut goes on each of the screws. Put the screw through predrilled holes from the under side of the lid and and screw down the plate. The other 2 nuts are for adjusting the hieght. The 1/4" round sits on top of the 2 nuts. Clearance holes are needed on each end of the 1/4" round.
I cut my f-holes with a dremel tool. (1/8" spiral bit) But first I trace out the holes with a razor blade. I get very close with the dremel. Then finish by filing.
I really like your work. Nice clean look. Do you mind sharing how you made that bridge? And, what are you using to make the cut in the box for the pickup (and sound holes on your other builds)?
