So are you trying to say you are leaving it as is with no additional graft? Sorry for my confusion.

Sorry about this, it is me who is confused. I'm new to custom guitars and haven't learned the proper terminology. I used "end graft" incorrectly to mean just the butt end of the guitar. Thanks for your clarification.
