Finally had some free time so I finished it today (although I still may make some adjustments).<br />
<br />
Here's some pics (I hope they come out, this is my first time trying to post pictures on CBN)<br />

I didn't have any spare tuners laying around, so I thought I'd try an idea using eye bolts in the same manner as my old Steinberger headless guitar. Instead of wrapping the string around a post, the string is looped onto the eyebolt and then tuning is done by tightening the nut at the end of the headstock, thus tightening the string. I wanted to use wingnuts, but there wasn't enough room. It's kind of a pain having to pull out my needle nose pliers every time I have to retune, but it's really no worse than the zither pins on my celtic shepherd's harp. And once the strings are in tune, they tend to stay that way.<br />

I love the name on the box. Would be a good name for a band.<br />

Well, I'm going to sign off for now and play some more on my new CBG. If the pictures don't come out, I'll try again later. Tangent Linetag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2009-11-23:2592684:Topic:1472522009-11-23T16:12:20.068ZTim Fontainehttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/TimFontaine
Have you used the tangent line method to locate the fret location on your necks? If so how accurate is it?
