I bought these Piezos off ebay for £1, they should pick up the vibrations of the soundboard once installed inside the guitar. With the jack strap pin it will turn Goldie into a stealth electric guitar :)

Houston We Have A Sh#tload Of Problems
My nuts too small, the tailpiece has a crack, frets needed extra work, strings snapped with all the on and offness and machineheads pegs are loose. Sounds nice though.

Tailpiece
I tacked the tailpiece together. Once it's fully welded it's gonna get polished to a mirror finish
Shabby Chic
Goldie told me to cover her in wood filler. While sanding it off she said STOP! All the parts with filler on will be covered with gold leaf as Goldie likes the shabby chic look.

Missing Piece
A bit is missing on the third fret. I've mixed up the dust from sanding using a clean piece of sandpaper with wood glue to make a nice pink coloured paste to fill the gap.
See what it's like in 24 hours.
Here We Go Timelapse
