Members musicdog400 Posted January 4, 2010 Members Share Posted January 4, 2010 For Christmas, I got the book Hand Made Hand Played. It is a wonderful source of really far out ideas, headstocks and everything else. You may find some ideas there. Your guitar looks really interesting. Is that speaker cloth ? Is there a speaker in there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SrDeMaFp Posted January 4, 2010 Members Share Posted January 4, 2010 I gotta say, I've never seen a "thumbs up" headstock before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a speaker in there ? yeah the body has a construction method a bit like a danelectrobut there's no speaker in there i'm thinking a "mini tele" headstock might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WRGKMC Posted January 4, 2010 Members Share Posted January 4, 2010 Funko baby. You wont be short that third hand you always seem to need but you dont want it growing out of the head. I agree that's pretty ugly headstock. I like the body though. It definately has a retro look to it Maybe cut a piece of maple and glue a middel finger on so its giving you the audience bird then just use it to play punk music.

Members musicdog400 Posted January 5, 2010 Members Share Posted January 5, 2010 When I design an instrument, one of my main criteria is how much it will annoy other people. Maybe I should copy that headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Belva Posted January 6, 2010 Members Share Posted January 6, 2010 I kinda like that headstock. But anyone here who has seen my builds knows I go for the unusual. What if the guitar in question becomes uber valuable some day? Nah, never happen. How about shaping the bottom of the headstock like a women's butt, or maybe some ta tah's?

Members (⌐■_■) Posted January 6, 2010 Members Share Posted January 6, 2010 sell the neck to a guy with one of those guitars but with a broken neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mr benn Posted January 6, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 6, 2010 sell the neck to a guy with one of those guitars but with a broken neck? it's actually a really unusual design to the neck, half V on the bass side so barr chords are really easy up the neckit's beautiful to play though! plus the chance of finding a dude needing one is like a million to one!

Members PopsBdog Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 I've saw that headstock before at a guitar store in Eugene Oregon. That is a hand built American Made guitar from the 90's I believe. The company was located in Washington. That guitar has a cult following. I've seen them on eBay going for between $500 and $1200. I am going to bet on it's going up in value. I'll trade for the guitar or neck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
