This one has a zero fret and is currently set up as G-g-b (Seasick Steve tuning?). I think it has the best intonation of all the guitars I have made so far.

Thanks! I wanted a bit more decorative headstock, but without a lot of carving. I put a bottle cap at the end and I like the look of it. I'll make a few more like it, though I'll make the slot a bit narrower so it's a bit stronger.
Good job and it looks good. I think the zero fret is one of the best ways to get good intonation. But then they tend to let the strings hop around unless you do a good job on string guides. When you use a bolt for the nut, you kind of guess a bit on where the string is going to first hit.
