I totally admire your woodworking skills.  It's a piece of ART.  Maybe some day I'll get past my accoustic strumming and look toward something like that to play.

Thanks Dean, let your skills run wild before the end of life steals them.

Zen, I broke down and purchased some quality Japanese nut files. An 8 piece set, with files the same thickness of each string that comes in a string size 10 set. So the string slots match the string size. String slots that are to big for the string, will give you string buzz, so buying a extra lite set of strings when your guitar nut wasn't made for it, will give you string buzz, a tiny vibration, smaller then fret buzz, but still annoying.

Back door for access to the pickup.



Emily my cat. And it is finished, over all I like the way it turned out, the next ones will be better yet.

Looks great Mort.  Sounds good too.
