thank you guys for the kind words I appreciate them, I am putting uke tuners on it, but gear driven ones not the friction pegs, they look like regular ones but are 7/16s stems not 5/8ths. I learned that yesterday. the knobs are an off white should match the bone nuts im shaping for this baby. I finished the nuts today. all i gotta do is wait for the tuners and strings and i can finalize the nut height and fine tune the string height. then i'll slick it all up a little bit. I do love that espresso stain, it has a nice color to it .
Thank you Unc. its a learning curve for me. im glad im trying different things . I love building these and cbg's bass's and ukes all have the same end result= fun building . Trees was kind enough to send me a set of his favorite strings for this baby . So its gonna have some hot mojo. And i got the tuners coming. So i'll shelve it and wait for parts . now its on to my queen bee
