Shoe.  Megaphone.  Grunties.  Wankel Rotary Engine.

Thanks Uncle John.  I have to give part credit to Randy on the solution for the peg head cracks.  I was frustrated and considering drilling and doweling it together.  He wisely suggested a nice wood inlay and then, in a flash of mediocre thought, I knew what I had to do.  Randy and I actually traded several ideas back and forth on this guitar.  He's a great sounding board for an isolated builder like me.

Good looking git.  I like that zero bone.   LOL on your response to the peg head cracks.    Wow innards!   That lucky, oily dude.
