Neck block and top kerfing fitted at either end.
This top was thinned down and a rudimentary bridge plate and braces where fitted.

I used a circular sanding disk in a drill press to reduce the thickness.
All ready to assemble, with end and neck blocks and end kerfing to top.

Note piezo pickup and socket.
Given the Fender neck with no headstock back angle I had to fit a string bar to get the strings down to go onto the tuners.
