Thanks guys.  Yes it is a bit sharp, but seems to be working out for how I rest my hand - right behind the bridge.  Kind of a booby trap if somebody else picks it up though! 

I like the double course sound I'm getting, but with the piezo, the high string is too dominant.  I'll experiment with this some more.  

I like those square head screws too Lane, I found mine at a junk shop I go to, haven't seen them anywhere else, but I bet they could be found online...

I've got a couple more of those church keys UJ, I think I'll be using them again..

Pointy or not, I like the look. A double course diddley would be interesting. The head shape on those screws works really well. I need to look for some of those.

T.H., that and the photo are works of art.   

LOL, Jerry.   Yup.   And I have a lot of big E strings too. 

Back in the day before poptops, we called that pointy thing a 'church key'.   Hanging here beside me in the den on a key ring is my dad's Army dog tag, church key and switch key.  (railroad switch key - he was a switchman).
