Damn, harsh criticism from the gallery!!! Haha, yes they have been trimmed, that photo is one of the originals after I put it all together.
It still has the original Chinese strings on it, as the Ernie balls that came with the kit had some surface rust on the G-string, and no-one likes a rusty G-string!!!
Edit: Apparently I'm a Mentor now..........I don't think I'm ready for that responsibility!!!![]()
