    Re: How much is enough? (answer: 36)

    Can you post more pics? I'm not sure what you mean by pinstriping. I'm also curious how you contour the neck heel.

    Do you have a signature headstock shape or do you use a bunch of designs? IMO that's the trickiest part for LP-type guitars to get right - to look distinct but still balance with the classic look of the body.

      Hi, this is a pic I found on short notice with the pinstripes, albeit in reverse (because the neck shaft and fretboard are light; if they're both dark, it's of course the reverse)



      I have three 3x3 headstock designs, let me see if I can find them.



      You can see them on the green doublecut, the SG and the LP. I am in the process of streamlining towards two shapes: only the LP headstock and on the doublecut. The latter has a straight string pull after the nut so the strings don't bind and this headstock has to go on trem-equipped guitars. The other, not so much

        I have to admit, there is some variation between the shapes. That's because I shape each and every one by hand and I don't use a CNC for that. I am still contemplating a better, more consistent way of doing it though. I have used a tablerouter in the past to get that done but after having seen the so manyieth neck get hurled through the room, I was fed up with it and called it quits.

        the pic above shows each shape I make. So far I have sold the SG and I will replace the green guitar with a new version.

        As a matter of fact, I want to rebuild each and every one of these because I'm not satisfied at all, but I guess that's the cost of learning on the job.

              thanks! It was a request, a few years ago, to combine Ibanez' headstock with Blackmachine. Voila...

                  Dude! I love your flag art!

                  I need one.

One is just higher up the totem pole, and has some flame and binding. I will eventually get a P-90 one, and I think that’s where my Les Paul collection stops. If I I had the coin I would no doubt have some more, but I’m at the age where I’m trying to focus on the things I’m lucky enough to have, and worry less about the stuff I don’t have.
