Neck almost there.


Glued on the fingerboard and the head plate. I used sharpened nails that I filed to a point to keep the fingerboard in place. I used a spare nut to space the plate from the fingerboard. I angled the edge to keep it nice for the nut. I used two small brads to hold the plate while I glued it. They were nailed in an area where they'd be away from the headstock when cut.
I thought of this headstock design a while back. It gives the body and head a 50's kind of look. Perfect for the Surf Green I have. Since I planned on the shape, I started to see several others with similar shapes. Oh well, it must be nice if others like it too.
