I played his OM-45 at the Artisan Show. Awesome. Congrats on your start.
Will be fun to follow along.

Seamless workmanship~ Are you going for a solid head or a slotted head? looking forward to seeing more from this build!

I opted for a solid headstock as it’s what I’m used to, and probably a better fit for a OOO size. Also, John has a great little piece of Mun Ebony that will make for a beautiful headstock.

The torch inlay that he uses is beautiful - are you having that inlaid onto the headstock?

No, I did not select to have the headstock inlaid. I want this guitar to showcase the beauty of the wood and John’s impeccable craftsmanship.
