Thank you very much for sharing this with us. It's been an immense pleasure. You've made something to be proud of!

Finally I got the endpin jack. With a 2.5 mm mini jack input from the undersaddle piezo pickup. You can see the routing of the cable.
Also I found the fitting of the maple/ebony saddle far too wobbly. Therefore I made a new one from Granadillo, hard and resonant, with a tight fit.
The sound of the pickup is not bad at all, but the output is quite low. In time I will post some sounds.
I did not split the saddle, because I did the tightning of the cone before and I believe a one piece saddle is more stable.

Great pictures. I think after I finish my current, I am going to retire from commissions and build what I like. This looks like it could be a fun project.
