It's a Nice slick sharp looking guitar Jim.

Where do the metal brackets for the neck join come from? and are they made just for guitars or are they made for something else ?
And what type of tool turns the truss rod under that tiny cover?

Thanks Rob, I made the brackets and gun blued them myself, just cut that bottom one out of a bit of 100 x 40 x 3mm wall RHS. There is enough space to get a Allen key to turn about 1/6 of a rotation at a time once you take that jelly bean cover off.

P.S. I will post some better pics in the Gallery soon.
