Bill,
that's absolutely wonderful. Oscar is one of my alltime favorite Sesame St.
characters (probably because I too share many traits with him). There's
nothing to give an indication of scale, but if that's a truss rod cover, that's
incredible detail on such a small part. Years ago someone had made a
little shareware program that turned the trash can on a Mac into Oscar's
trash can. Whenever you placed anything in the trash Oscar popped out
and sang. "Oh I love trash." It was great until the powers at Sesame Street
made them stop. Now Oscar lives on as a delightful addition to some
lucky person's guitar. Well done!

Yup...it's a truss rod cover for a clients Goodall.

Awesome.

You'd have to wear glasses after working on something that small.

Craig, I used to have that oscar program living in the trash can on my mac, the singing used to get on my nerves though.
