Tomorow will be the day!

All parts except the bridge are ready.

I didn't make the tailpiece hook as Francesco did, but simply put an iron pin in the far end of the tailpiece.

Tuning pegs are cut to 1:25 cone and fitted in the pegbox.

Tomorow I'll collect all the parts and the strings and put everything together.

String gauges I would like to use for a start:

1st: 0.64 mm

2nd: 0.84 mm

3rd: 1.12 mm

4th: 1.40 mm

5th: 1.86 mm

6th: 2.50 mm

(Ranging from 7.5 kg at the low end to 7.9 at the high end, thus tension of upper and lower strings nearly equal)

I don't have all those sizes at hand so I'll have to improvise a bit.
