Add some glass insulators and an electric fence charger and you got you an electric!

And thanks, Dave, Glenn, and Rock for the nice comments.

Dave, I'm thinking about redoing the tuners on a three string license plate guitar just like you described...one on top, two on the sides.

Outriggers...I like that term. Maybe it'll stick.

It also would seem if the eyebolts lay close to the side of the neck and therefore the wingnuts as well, the wingnuts stay in place as you turn the eyebolts to tune up or down. Effective, or it would seem so. Cool. -Glenn

I can also see that your rig could have another function. I've run out of room for tuners on a headstock. I wanted four but only had room for three. Your rig to the rescue. Install one metal bar across the head's top and two eye bolts on each side. Outriggers. Now you'd have a five string.

The more I look at it, I see why the eyes for tuner buttons make better tuners than the smaller wing nuts in the rig. I'll love hearing your invention in a video.

Thanks, it was just a thought. Your rig is very unique. I've had an Eyebolt tuning system that I had trouble operating so I changed it out for standard tuners. I like the massive head on your rig. So individual.

Dave, the wing nuts ride along the side of the headstock. Seems to make it easier to tune with one hand. After the strings stretch for a day or two, I'll reverse one of them and see how it feels as a comparison.

Very simple but effective mechanics. I like it.
