    It's Dick's patina Bristol. Dick owned the box. He wrote Dick over most of It and went over all the lettering to decorate it. He did a good job. This build will forever be named Dick.

    I like coffe stir sticks. My buzzes must be worse than yours.

    "Temporarily, of COURSE!"

    Ha!  I've been known to add business cards (about 0.015") as shims under a bridge to eliminate fret buzz. Temporarily of PC!

    Hey Gary. Ya good eye. I filed the fret slots to get a very low action. Three frets buzzed so I filed them. Then I raised the action at the bridge by taking the strings out of their slots. The action is now just right for slide and picking. I may make a new bridge out of hardwood. This one was made just for starters to get strings on and hear this thing sing.

    Hmmmm... I think the strings are supposed to fit inside the slots... Or is this an optical illusion?
