The "bar" is certainly set very high. Is that all wood inlay on your fretboard?

One beautiful job of craftsman on the whole guitar, Especially the fret board. So pretty, Have you considered covering it with glass or plexi glass to protect it from pick damage? Great work.

Thanks Bobby good Idea, I like the fret board because when u play up in John Huey land above the 15 fret your bar doesn't cover the fret line.

A different way to attach pedal rod has four holes for setting long movements or short just slide pedal rod end into pedal slot an put pin in desired hole. A little like a Emmons steel.
