Tom, you should have these photo-journals published when you're done with this instrument. The way you explain each and every detail even a dummy like me can understand it. It would make a really cool book. You could call it a cookbook for guitars or something kitchy like that.

"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek
