Like our buddy Richey Kay, I'm growing partial to the banjo style bridges, and really like how the fret touches it off.  Of course, I DO want to try my hand at building a 'buried rod piezo bridge' in the near future.  Also, I know lots of folks on here who've used the 'zero fret' in place of the more traditional nut; thtat also intrigues me...   so many design options!  ;-)   Guess I may have to ratchet up my "tinker factor" too!

Chick - yep.  I recently saw this on another member's build, and liked it.  It does have little notches filed in to hold the strings in position.  I like it even more now!  Kalmario - the overall action is a tad high, which probably helps it be played either slide or normal fretting.  It plays pretty well!  Pick - glad you like!  Thanks all!
