Nice one John, I quite like that mini dread look. Oh and I reckon you do a great job of building for a guy who lives in a tent and I guess I shouldn't be telling you how to live your life but can't you get yourself a council flat or a bedsit? Has housing really gotten that hard to find? I thought that Thatchers mess would have been tidied up a little by now.

Botanical names ROCK!!!!!

EDIT....Maybe a 14 fret would move the bridge forward a bit and make it look even more like a mini dread.
