...i should have added in OP ....with ma new headstock design!

I like it though it didn't leave much of your blonde stripe on the headstock.

Not that it matters with that body taking all the limelight.

...welll....

...i did not do the guitar body


...it was originally a bolt on guitar from china which had a too long scale



...so ...the original neck was removed....the body was bandsawed to shape (taking off the jutting bit tht bolted on to the neck)....and a new neck was created for a shorter scale (LP) - mahogany + african blackwood f/b + tasmanian blackwood heel)


...there is a stew mac hotrod truss rod installed adjusted at the rhythm p/u end


...neck pocket had to be re-routed ....and bridge posts position changed ...cutaway at back was done ....various holes filled....and a slap of wipe on poly



...as for blonde stripe ......here is my recent mod on the headstock of my other recent homebrews

The headstock design is evolving into something truly unique. Good stuff!
