Interesting tuners.  Good sounding guitar.  Woody sounding.   Neat.

Though that was me? For a start this guy can play! Lol I'm still too scared to go in front of a camera!!!

Whoa! That's good. At first I thought that was you Scruggy and I thought "we can't tell you anything" but we can all learn something from this! Oh my, that reminds me why I'm not a big fan of chisels unless you have a real good touch.
