To install the endpin, mark the centerpoint of the endpin
on the guitar’s end trim strip (see the blueprint, upper left),
using a centerpunch or an awl . With a 1/4" brad point bit,
carefully drill a perpendicular hole completely through the
tailblock at this location . Enlarge the hole with a tapered
reamer until the endpin fits snugly .

The original guitars did not include a strap button, but we’ve
included one to install if you wish . To install the strap button:
measure down halfway between the bottom of the fretboard
and the end of the heel on the treble side of the neck heel,
and halfway between the center of the heel and where the
neck meets the body (pictured), and mark a center point
with an awl . Use a 3/32" drill bit with a piece of tape 7/8" up
the bit as a depth stop guide . Drill at 90 degree angle from
that point on the neck heel . Visualize the path of the drill
bit before drilling to avoid going through the other side
of the heel.

Installing the endpin and strap button

Now that your guitar is complete, we hope you enjoy playing
it for many years . Protect it with a quality case, keep it away
from extremes in temperature and humidity, and install only
medium or lighter gauge strings .

And start building another guitar! You can’t stop now, can
you?

CONGRATULATIONS!

Place the pickguard in position on the soundboard . Be sure
it fits and looks correct, and trim it with scissors if necessary .
You must warm the material with a hair dryer to soften it
before cutting carefully with scissors . If the pickguard is
not flat after cooling off, place it on a flat surface and warm
again and let it cool on the flat area . Sand the trimmed edges
with 400-grit paper to remove the burr . Practice placing the
pickguard in position before removing the backing from the
adhesive surface .

KIT TIP: Pickguard placement

Mist the guitar top with a mixture of water and a lit-
tle dishwashing soap . Remove the backing from the
pickguard and carefully place the pickguard on the
guitar top . The soap and water mixture will allow
the pickguard to slide a little for exact placement .
Working from the center of the pickguard, carefully
squeegee out the water to remove bubbles and
air pockets from beneath the pickguard, and let it
dry overnight .
