As an introduction here are some images of the build. I hope to document some aspects of the electric build.

Here I am checking the fit for the Oatley tube preamp and components. Plan to have 2 p-90s and a under bridge piezo. Owen plays a lot of Celtic and Contra Dance music so these pickups should serve him well with their warmth and acoustic-like reproduction. The tube preamp is relatively inexpensive and has great features like a low battery LED function. I have to solder things up but at $35 this seems like a bargain. I have used some thin cyano to reinforce the control holes because of the soft nature of the redwood burl.

Here are some pics at the initial stages

Even though acoustics are more of a fine art, I think electrics give a type of freedom to the builder.
