Thanks Dave. After several years of playing I got used to the peg sticking out but I like not having it there too for thumb prick and smooth sliding reasons. I don't usually do a bolt on neck for banjos but this pot was 3/4" laminated maple which I figured was stout enough to withstand the pressure. Yay! The like button is working (for now)

Wow, even the like button worked. The site’s been down for me for days, till now. Hooray!
