  • Stout.   Small but mighty.   Yup.  I like those woods too.  

  • No, wes, these are bass guitar tuners with the biggest gears I could find.  I got them hanging on the wall at Guitar Center for $55.  The upright bass tuners are over $100 for the least expensive I could find.  It's only a day, but these seem to work fine and the gear ratio is good for precise tuning.  The bushing sleeves are also metal, so I expect good performance for a long time.

  • Thanks Jim.  Making the radius on the fingerboard was a bit of a chore, but well worth it.

  • Very cool Eric! Love me some purple heart.
