Here's a quick update on the layout of the booth, with a plastic bin as a place keeper for a bass rig.



I've been very busy with wiring harnesses and pickups.

Thanks!

With harnesses complete and connectors installed, it's time for final assembly.

Thanks, I'm getting pretty excited for next week!

I mount Lollar Model One and Thunderbird pickups using threaded inserts and silicone tubing for ease of height adjustment and durability.



Here's the next four getting buttoned down in the final push for Summer NAMM.

This will be the last photo update of the builds prior to NAMM.

All hardware is installed and the instruments are ready for final setup.



The booth and all accessories are ready to go, so now it's time to break it down for the trip.

Thanks, Rob!

Things are getting down to the wire, and I'm trying not to freak out too much.

;D

This doesn't look like nineteen instruments and an exhibitor booth, but it is.
