I began the French Polish process today, and it is a process. but it is amazing how quickly the instruments begin to gain in beauty as the finish goes on. Here is the Rosewood/Redwood after just two applications of the French Polish.

The new way of pore filling looks like it works well. The finish looks amazing already.

Why not put the tuner pegs for the C and E strings closer together? The C and E strings would then have a more direct line to the nut. I have a wound low G string on my uke (#38) and the G tuner with the wound string is very very close to the C string on its way to its C tuner peg.

Danny; the tuner locations are set into the laser program used to cut the inlay for the "g" and are where they are for two reasons.
1. the tuner holes have to be a certain distance from the edge to accommodate standard geared-post tuners that some clients desire. I will install them but prefer Pegheds like yours.
2.Aestheticly I feel the wider separation on top is better.
Finally, the angle from tuner to nut groove makes no difference as long as the string stays in the groove and doesn't touch the tuner it passes.
