| Here is a 1937 archtop guitar. This customer asked me to bring it to life with some electricity. As always, I encourage repairs/mods that can be reversed and brought back to original condition, whenever possible. This job is completely reversible. |

| Removal of the old bridge (which was at its maximum height and the strings were still a bit low). |

| The strap button was chosen for the input jack, as it was the least invasive and preferred location. |

so the client could put the bridge back in the correct spot (for best intonation). |
