    Thanks Jim, did you have to wind the pups right in the guitar? ,,,, by hand? Your image of nails pounded in is great. It's perfect.

    Thanks Dave, the nails were tricky but it was the look I was after, I'll take another photo from the back for you.

    That's very beautiful. Love the 4 pole pups. I'd like to see inside this one. Maybe the next photo?....
