  • I did end up switching to a piece of threaded rod for the nut, needed more string height for slide playing. I did put the tuners too close to the nut, wanted to leave room for a fourth string but even then I should have moved them up some for the string break angle to be better.

  • Not many people would put planetery's in the junk drawer. Makes for expensive junk.

  • Well, getting them out of the junk drawer is a plus.    One small tip I would give is to have a bit more distance from the nut to the tuners.   Well, two tips.  That nut looks nice, but one of the advantages to using a bolt or screw for the nut is that they tend to keep the strings where you want them.   

    Nice looking frets.  Sure better than mine.
