Thanx guys.
Yhep, bone nut is a given and I might change the pots for Bournes otherwise stock parts.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

Congrats on the build DB it looks brilliant.
On the subject of the dreaded arthur one of the guys I play with switched to lap steel because he could neither form chords with his left hand or hold a pick in his right, his playing is a bit rudimentary but it has come a long way in the last 12 months ( having Kenny Kitching giving him guidance doesn't hurt either https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkYMszpdtwM )
He has an SX lap steel tuned to G and a resonator tuned to C6.

very cool track DK, love that lap steel sound. Looked like there was 3 lap steels on the beast he was playing, presume different tunings on each

That one is a pedal steel, different tuning on each neck with a bunch of pedals and levers to change the pitch of the strings
Here's a view of the mechanics from underneath a twin neck and also a single neck, typically they have 10 strings per neck and the one with the single neck in the pic has 8 pedals and 4 levers to modulate the pitch up and down across the 10 strings, the levers are operated by both knees and the pedals typically by left foot only because the right foot is on the swell pedal
( or yeah they are also fretless so good pitch is essential )
