A big grin and happy laugh at that good use of bottle cap and eye bolt.
One of my fave things on making cbgs is cutting metal tail pieces out of scrap metal - like the sheet metal furnace guys use. I like them. They are easy and a bonus is that if I want the strings off to work on ? the nut or a fret or something - I just unscrew the tail piece. Do what I need to do, straighten the strings and screw the tail back on.
