Good idea.

Thanks! I have tiny set screws with holes in them, countersunk from the underside as string-stoppers.

Oh my.  Sure does not look like a first.  Like the red.  Great looking fret job.  Action looks good.  

Just one thing, if there is no metal where the strings come out of the 'tail piece' they are going to eat into the wood.  Can not see for sure, but looks like just wood.  You can put metal washers on or a well placed fret or pop rivets or add a hinge tail piece or?   Got to keep the string angle low to the saddle as it already is too.
