So I'm sure Jason does his a lot different (and better), but I think this will work out nice and do what it needs to do. If not I'll replace it with a metal co rod.

Are you going with a clear head, so people can appreciate the sight AS it's being played?

Rogers used to make a really fine calf head. One of them came on my 1958 Pete Seegar Vega and while they were still in business I ordered a couple of them from Vega. I don't know if they are still available tho. My old Grandaddy swore by tom cat, but that involves a lot of work. Tom cat is translucent. You could make out the inlay inside the pot of his SS Stewart.

Hey eddie another good looker, are you only going to have one lag screw in the neck I think Jason uses a metal bracket with another bolt going in the neck, also what are you using on the bottom. I really like the look but went a different route. Larry

You should have patented that before you showed it to us.
