<p>Awesome. Looking forward to seeing a great playing git! </p>

<p>The 'Blues Box' I just finished had a major goof to fix.I cut the box slots too deep, because the top sits on the top of all 4 sides, rather than being recessed so that the top of the sides are flush with the top of the box. Right around the thickness of a fretboard. So basically, I put shims under the neck at teh point it goes thru the box, and the neck is now raised that amount. before, the action was a mile high, now it's workable.</p>

<p>While we truly dislike making mistakes, in a masochistic sort of way I enjoy the problem solving aspect.</p>
<p>Oh, and I'll venture a guess my errors -- make that design features -- number is bigger than yours.</p>

<p>Don't look at them as mistakes! Look at them as an opportunity to try something new! For example coming up with a way to cover-up a built in flaw. Believe me you aren't the first. Heads up on installing the pegs, make sure you have the wormgear on the forward side.</p>

<p>Hi Robbie, many design ideas come from mistakes.</p>
<p>Check out the thread "question on Headstocks" in the Forum list side bar.</p>
<p>I built a number of guitars for the same guy and in an early one I covered a mistake with a design feature. He now requests it in his guitars</p>

<p>An old cabinetry saying, "A little trim covers a multitude of sin." You could put the extra wood on the back of the headstock. Make it a different color so it'll stand out. Then tell everyone you wanted it that way. </p>
<p>And as far as how many mistakes can you make. You haven't even gotten started. The stories I could tell........ : ) </p>
