"Thanks Wolfeather", when selecting strings for my many different scale length builds, I usually go for string tension around the mid 10kg/23lb per string, I find that this gives me the option of either tuning up a step or tuning down a step, in this case the strings were set up for CGc tuning, but dropping it to BF#b seemed to suit this build better. :-)

Awesome work, like to see someone else tuning to B.
"Thanks UJ", It's quite loud Acoustically, will try and get a sound sample done in the next few days :-)
Looks like a great poor boy special out of 1933. I like!
