Hi Uncle Uncle John, thanks a lot for the comments, as you noticed I took care of a lot of details as I wanted to get up to speed with the building knowledge, there are a few small mistakes but I'm not telling!
About the string height, yes it ended being quite good with low enough action so I can even play it without slide for a couple of minutes before my fingers start to hurt, I played guitar regularly for 17 years so I guess that helps too.
Still need to adjust to this string spacing which is not bad either but my hands are so used to regular 6 strings spacing hehee.
Ebony! Wow. That looks like a good 20th build, not a first. Nice heel, volume control - even well placed, and looks like good string height and spacing.
