Continued progress

Day off today; got the electrics wired up and in place, the sound-hole grommets installed, the tuning machines installed, and the nut positioned.First time I've tried a volume control; it appears to work well while tapping on the piezo.I'm presently glueing the piezo into the resonator; then I'll be able to install the top.I don't even try to make a bridge till I get the tailpiece and all in place; I usually run twine from the nut to the tailpiece so I can eyeball the approximate height f the bridge.

  • your buzz might have come thru the strings, did you ground the bridge plate? If you dont ground something that is in direct touch with strings you will get humm
  • Worked great! Smooth, progressive, and no extraneous noise. It's just a standard volume pot I bought at the Guitar Center. I followed the wiring instructions Ted Crocker sent me.
  • I hope you have better luck with a volume control. I was getting a bad buzzing through the amp with mine. I didn't think it did a whole lot anyway. I decided to remove it and just go directly to the jack. Not sure if I did something wrong (it was my first attept ever). I'm anxious so see how yours turns out.
