I tune up after every set just like I do when I played all the other ones,. msa, zum,serria,blanton, carter and so on...

Looks good. I applaud your efforts to make a good entry/inexpensive guitar. The only thing I don't like is the fretboard. Too busy and distracting for me.

That's impressive Dan. I like the looks of the under-carriage. Good job.

The underneath seems to follow the same principle I did when I built mine - make it strong enough and it ought to stay in tune. You have plenty of mass in there. You can't beat a pull-release for natural tone and sustain.
And take no notice what they say about your fretboard - I wish I had your imagination. As long as it doesn't give you a headache, it's fine

Very nice job, that undercarriage especially looks like it is built to last.
