Above is the replacement nut, below is the original nut still waiting to be taken out.

The new nut and abalone inlays arrived two days ago. Just yesterday Kimberly and I put all

eight new abalone inlays in for the acoustic. Today I changed the strings on the electric. Wow- it sounds so much improved compared to before. The strings were for acoustic or electric guitar. I play acoustic more than electric so the strings felt more comfortable, better tension, and thicker sound.

This is the acoustic guitar. I have not replaced any inlays on the electric, yet.

As you can see we made a few nicks and dents, but overall I think the guitar looks great. Also Kimberly and I learned how to better replace inlays next time. I love custom.

This post was all guitar wasn't it? Well on the flip side, I just finish the book This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti. Not only did I thoughly enjoy it, but the spiritual message is inspiring and awakening. I was so engrossed in this book that today I almost didn't notice we had an accident while driving to Waimea- and no I wasn't driving. And also I wasn't reading the time I could of had an accident when driving home from Puako- We are all safe so please don't worry. I am still driving though ( I'm not worrying abou that but you can).Joking, joking. This book rocks. Nuff said. (try that on a book report)

Well as you can see I have painted the headstock white.

Traditionally the headstock is painted black, but it didn't seem to match.
I bought abalone dot inlays to replace the white ones and a nut to replace the plastic one.

My dad and I have been talking about buying a mic so Kim can record properly. Even though I have found one I don't want be to fast to buy. First it takes a good deal of dedication of time and energy to record music and second Kim doesn't want to record with a mic.

She likes recording with the camcorder which for our level the perfect. Now I'd like to mention that if you saw Kim's latest production: yes I was in it; no I'm not doing it again.

I fully believe and know I can't sing. Amen.

Last thing I toke a PSAT at home today from a booklet. Score: 173 that's average I think. Top scores are 200 to 220

As you have noticed my mind has been thinking about the guitar constantly. There's actually not much to do, but I've been preoccupied with how to upgrade it.

In truth I've let the guitar take over my mind. I'm putting it back in the correct perspective.
To glorify God and learn a few things. I should also be focusing on learning about God and heavenly things.
