$$ w/ XLB145 & EXL170BT and goodies installed

I finally found time to finish the $$ project up. This is a 2008 German Corvette $$ I picked up a couple weeks back. I've installed a brass JAN III, Gotoh machine heads, Schaler strap locks, new truss rod cover, and D'addario XLB145 & EXL170BT strings. I couldn't be happier with how it came out. Very minor fitting of the nut to accommodate the .145 low B. Don't let my screen name fool you, I really can't play. With a background in mechanical engineering I am pretty good at modifying cars, guns, and instruments though. The pictures aren't the best since I used my phone camera. Let me know what you think.
