Thanks so much, Fingerz!

BTW Peggy - I've admired your recent strummer picks as well! Great work!

Peggy - thanks so much! I did use a cheap scroll saw to cut the shape to match the body. Then it took a heavy dose of sandpaper to get all the nooks and crannies the way I liked. I don't think I used anything more sophisticated than that.... (Maybe a couple of small rasps....)

AGP - thanks man! I'm partial to it as well! Dowel pegged it in 4 places just to help ensure the string tension didn't rip it off - - probably overkill but it adds to the neat look, I think...

Beautiful Tailpiece, "Love It" :-)

What a great job you did on the tailpiece. The tools I have are so primitive that I have a hard time with my building.

Scott, MFJ and Uncle John - appreciate the comments! This tailpiece just sort of morphed into existence as I pondered the design. I like how it turned out!
