Physical build “complete”

Attribute the scare quotes to the fact that that there is a *lot* of electronics that still need to be inserted. But, the “device” (sans microcontroller, power, and little intangibles like “programming”) is living happily on the guitar. It’s exciting. The last few days have been a sometimes tortuous exercise in trying to mill precise little wood blocks. The biggest stumbling ‘block’ (hah) was the main support that keeps the solenoids assembly a certain distance away from the neck. Because the strings still have to move, the clearance has to be substantial. I ended up cutting out the mounting holes into slots, so that it can move back and forth and be adjusted properly. See picture below.
