  • I've used eye bolts on several 1 and 2 string builds. I soaked them in a bowl of lemon juice for several days to give them more of an aged look. Going to also try vinegar and sale and gun bluing. 

  • Thanks. It tunes fairly easily, just a little tricky to fine tune and then tighten up. Seems to go flat if it sits a few days. That might be normal, I don't know. Machine heads are much easier to install and use. This was my first build, so I wanted it to be without any modern components. The only power tool I used was a hand drill to get the headstock holes right (that is after I tried and destroyed two other headstocks). Actually a drill is almost the only electric tool I have used on all my builds.
  • Nice Pauly! That is a very classy look. How easy is it to tune/stay in tune? I've got an eyebolt guitar in the works myself...
