New Screws!

I finally found the right screws. They are stainless steel and fit the countersink nice. They have a nice chunky head. They are bridge screws for a telecaster. The dude i bought them off searched everywhere and found them in the usa, i just searched ebay.

Revised Nut

I've tilted the string trees so they touch on the front.

Strings

I put phosphor bronze 13s on it originally but they snapped with the taking them off and on so have put some electric 9 guage on there to try. Pretty bendy compared to the 13s and sound weaker so i've ordered some phosphor bronze 12s to see the difference compared to the 13s.

Guitar Hanger

I made a hanger for Goldie, painted it black, covered it with gold leaf and then filed and sanded it so it will look worn like the guitar.
