Slide too.   Good on you.   Looks good, but the strings are more closely spaced than I like.  You may be happy with them as they are. 

I like to encourage new builders to check out my fave how to play video.   At page top under Resources, hover there, choose 'how to play' and find knotlenny's CBG 101.  A slow starter but a gem.

Sweet first build, Scott!  You DO know why they're called 'first' builds, right?  Welcome to the addiction!  ;-)
