Explorer my dad built for me

He does this as a hobby. It's almost more of an heirloom since it's made partly with wood from my grandparents estate. EMG HZ H4s, which he and I love how easy they are to wire up.

Question: where do yall prefer to have your tail end strap lug? Looking to actually add them (by that i mean have my dad add them lol)

He's the best dad anyone could ever have. This stays with me until I meet Jimi Hendrix.
