Added three grommets for strings for tailpiece, what are options for end of string to stay secure instead of just through hole? I tried to find some gold washers but none small enough
Thanks
Pics appreciated

Am I able to get the same sound affect by gluing fretboard onto box lid by about 2" as compared to cutting out lid section?
I can't do latter and afterwords thought about drawback
simply use a drill bit smaller in diameter than the string ball ends . if the holes you are using are too big, then you can add a small nut or washer slid on to the string and to the ball end .
depending on the quality .. some you can just twist up with needle nose pliers ,, i was doing that and broke a tine .. so i heated it up with a mini torch first . they curl up pretty easy ;-)

For my relic style gits I like to cut and drill my own tailpieces out of scrap sheet metal of the type furnace guys use. They hold up fine.
I've used gutter rivets on the front and back of the tail piece for all of my builds so far. You can buy them 100 at a time.
Just knock out the center mandrel and super glue them in place, They work great.

This one I already have three holes drilled line but not sure how they stay in place under the tailpiece
