Could be the most challenging build I've ever seen.

Quite a creative design of both headstock and bridge! Rest assured Burton will make it an even better reality.

Love the headstock Burton. Just a question about the string paths for the E strings. Won't they have quite an angle to them?

Also, it needs to be said- This headstock is directly inspired by one made by Mitsuhiro Uchida, someone whose work and design sense I hold in the highest regard. It is so similar that I felt it was necessary to contact him and propose what I wanted to do and get his blessing before proceeding. I was able to do that and am very appreciative of his time and permission, he was very gracious. I think it will look good on this guitar and I am excited to tackle the details The bridge will be fun too- I know it looks like a fan fret but it is a straight 25" scale. I angled the bridge to match the compensation of the saddle. The bridge on the original is so thin and I didn't want to change that but it had no compensation- This allows me to keep the bridge thin and have a little fun with the design. It will be interesting to see how the triangles read when they are carved into the pyramid style. In plan like this it references the rosette well and I am curious to see if it still does when the lines aren't quite as sharp. I appreciate everyone's comments! thanks for following along. Matthew and I have been throwing around ideas for this guitar for (I think) literally 2 years! It is nice to finally have the design set in stone. I can't wait to see it for real. Spent the morning thicknessing the top- Made a mess! But it feels good. These little guitars can have some thin soundboards before the braces go on. I should start gluing those later this week.

Interesting. So, how will you manage the crossing strings? Wind some higher on the tuner posts than others?
