At a total cost of under $75 and fall settling in in these parts this will definately be my outside / campfire dola.
I'd be interested in more details about how you did this. Assuming the original 12th fret is marked by the upper 2-dot inlay, you actually removed and shortened the FB, and relocated the zero fret to the original 2nd fret (?), and reinstalled?
