Body done...time to finish the neck

[JPOL007]

Got the pickups wired up this weekend after I found the control plate. Installed the strap buttons and replaced the Stetsbar saddles to Graphtec saddles.
Going to concentrate on the neck now.

That Stetsbar looks good. Is it top loading?

Yes it is top loading. Everything moves when you use the bar. Depress the bar and the forward motion shortens the strings without any pinch or binding point being created. Pull up and lengthen the strings with no binding or pinching.
I haven't played one yet but have had conversations with the inventor Eric Stets. Nice guy who takes time to answer questions without any attitude.

Thanks, I was wondering about that. Sounds like a very workable unit.

Very cool.  What control plate is that?

Thanks,
I ordered it from Ertmermusic in Germany. They have some really nice offerings in metal.
