Thanks, AGP #!

"Very Nice"

You could glue little kleets inside the guitar where the screws are to keep them solid and not strip.

Dave- yeah, I still need to add a couple screws to the pick guard to keep it from pulling up, but I am pretty worried about screwing it up at this point too.

Love that pick guard! It fits the guitar just right.

Thanks, Dave!

Sure thing, 43rd. If it has some extra space in the headstock  you could even add a couple more tuning machines and have a four course bouzouki. I don't think the tension would be an issue because the strings are mostly light gauges.

... thanks for the idea, as I have an old Silvertone acoustic just collecting dust and may try something similar to this
