Finished up another project today, the second in the J40 twin series. Well, it's almost done. Somehow, two capacitors fell off of the volume/tone control element of the Fishman Matrix Infinity pickup. Never had that happen before. Sending it back for a replacement. That's why the strings are not trimmed.

Great Job! Let's see some more glamour shots!
BTW I have had a volume/tone element fail on a Matrix Infinity too. That never used to happen on the simple Matrix Naturals.

Great looking guitar! I'm always a big fan of a bound fretboard and headstock.

I'll do some high res glam shots once I reinstall the new pickup. Have to redo the nut, buried the high e too deep.
