Build Considerations

- Ash body is porous: apply at least two coats of grain filler for a smooth finish; take care around contours to avoid paint droplets.
- Pre-drill when inserting screws due to the hardness of ash.
- Bridge posts are pre-drilled; verify placement for learning and precision.
- Solderless wiring for effortless electronics installation.
- Bridge adjusts like a tune-o-matic for individual string intonation and global action; nut is removable for customization.
