Finally finished adding a raised fret board and new headstock to my all around go to player. Also added piezo pickup and three way switch. Turned out alright.

Thanks Pick. I got that one from a master. I like how it makes it easy to play with the action by switching out the rods. Finally got it where I want it now.
That looks really good. I like coming back and tweaking and re-doing some old builds. But doing that to your go to player sounds risky. Hope it is even better now.
Screwing down the saddle right where you want it is not a bad idea. They tend to move. And the brass screws look good. Head stock looks good too and so do the controls. To my eye, the hinge tail piece does not look quite optimal up close yet looks funky good further back. I think you reached the high 9s.

Yup. The legacy is found and reused items. I often try for that look. You got a nearly perfect combination of relic and subtle fancy here.
