At last, the time has come to put everything together in a playable package!

Start by mounting the Prism circuit board in its cavity using a screw in each corner. Plug in the sensors and the lasers, being sure to observe proper polarity.

Next, mount the 1/4" output jack and the power cord onto their plate, thread the wires through the hole, and screw the plate onto the side of the guitar. Plug in the cables and flatten the wires down against the bottom of the cavity.

Mount the various controls in their positions on the pick guard (or on their own separate plate, if that's the case on your guitar). Tighten the nuts being careful not to scratch the pick guard. Plug the cables into their respective positions, again being mindful of polarity. Route the cables into the cut channels, and lay the pick guard flat against the body of the guitar. Screw it in place.

With the pick guard in place, attach the knobs onto the control shafts.
