I like all but small. Small takes a little too much effort for me to play.

As far a being able to slide up and down the neck, a proper fret dressing will fix that.

I've seen a few different styles during repairs. There's the matching recessed ones like you're talking about. The. There are ones where the ones on the cover stick out and then there's just normal screws that are recessed in the control cavity. I've also seen one with a metal cover and magnets on the inside. If I remember correctly, that one was microphonic.

Yeah... The butt is sure to split under that kind of aggression

Awe I missed the finish! I thought this thread would still be building by he time I got back

I likie so far! I can't wait to see the sanded down results!

Deck, railing, and outdoor furniture stains work... although i don't think they're very applicable for guitars, as they have a sort of "flexible" quality to them.

Hi!

I've been lurking around, building, repairing, getting ideas etc. Hope to see you all!
