Jerry,

I'm glad you asked that question! We had someone from Michigan cut the stone to shape. Kurt wanted it in the shape of the perfect leaf that he found on the ground of his parents property. It adds to the sentimental side of the guitar. His peg head can be seen on our MYSPACE site (below). It made a beautiful guitar center piece. I requested that we add a small oval the 12th fret. Kurt really liked the outcome.

I also found this thread that might tell you a little about the guitar
