But I've begin to covet Bruce's "moldless" approach, and I like the notion of individual tentelones for the top.

The Peone can only work at 90 degrees if the top is dead flat AND the sides are reliably plumb to the top. While theoretically possibly, I believe the reality is unlikely. When I say 91 degrees, I mean over 90 enough to guarantee that the peone does not rock when placed. The actual angle will vary with your actual guitar's geometry. NEVER glue in anything with a sprung end, it will eventually pop loose. IMO, of course.
