Pretty! And, you reminded me what an idiot I am. I've been buying string ferrules for all my builds lately. All the while, I have about 500 bicycle spoke nipples new in the bag leftover from another project. D'oh!

Real. Nice. Cool. Love the circular string hole detail
Thanks, Mr Bluesheart.
Nice one, looks great!
Thanks Madurobob, get your nipples out!
Thanks John - It sounds nice and jangly, as well as being pretty loud. No need for sound holes on this one.
Super nice. How's it play and sound?
