Etc .. I also forward mounted the piezo , then added a metal bridge brace to the back of it to direct sound from strings and kalimba more evenly . even redneck grounded to the metal plate.She’s a turtle of a different feather indeed.Top mounted neck ,Typewriter / Dear john letter / Service member theme .Typewriter partsEnjoy .!
