I just lay a piece of buffed junk bicycle spoke into a groove across the neck, just above the holes where the strings come through.

I used a piece of antler glued to the area just in front of the string holes. There is a pic on my page.

Thanks Joe, for the input. Yesterday I was going through the photos on this site and wow, the possibilities are unlimited. I need to release my imagination. There are all kinds of things to use, forks, hinges .....

If you get stuck, find a haberdashery shop that sells zips, buttons, ribbons, fabric etc or a craft shop - the always sell what they call eyelets, they come in loadsa sizes (I used 3/8" I think), colours, shapes - my mrs brought me a box of 100 mixed coloured ones for less than £2 :o)
