Thanks, Craig. Feel free to borrow-away! I'm sure I'm not the first to do the H-hinge tailpiece thing. You prolly already know this, but be sure to drill the string holes very close to the edge of the hinge flap, and mount it so the holes just barely clear the box lid. This will keep you from having break-angle issues.
Beautiful work as always! Headstock is super clean and precise. I'm probably going to 'borrow' your tailpiece design at some point too - then I can use both parts of the cabinet hinges I have. I'll give props when I do, naturally. Terrific build!
