Just the one at the moment. Did a dry fit a few days ago to check the action and that everything was ok before finishing the neck. Just got a temporary bridge in the photo and need to mess about with it to get the action down a bit although as it is fretless not too worried about that!

Looking great. I actually really like the look of the grommets. Are you going electric?

Cheers Sasquatch! I was planning to put a piezo pickup in it although I was surprised at how loud it was acoustically. Always good to have the option of putting it through an amp though.

If you don't have frets, the string height won't be an issue... As long as it s high enough that your slide doesn't hit the neck while you're playing. I suggest using a threaded machine bold as a nut. That way, if the string height it too high or too low, you can use a larger or smaller circumference bolt. Keep switching them until you find one that is 'just right' for you.
