Looking good, great find being able to match the plate and yardstick. Love the rusty plate sure give the piece a lot of character.

Very cool Maddog. I accidentally bid on some old yardsticks at an auction last week. Two of them are aluminum but they should work for something like this. What I went to bid on was a big stack of walnut and cherry boards which I was surprised to get for under $100. If only there had been old WV license plates! That's a nice guitar.

Nice. Used a yard stick one time also. Wood burned the frets on.
