I'm getting a lot of interest in cedar over Indian Rosewood Gretas because of your YouTubes. So thanks again! Here are some update pictures of the ebony parlor getting all pulled together: https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8590/1...13868214_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8635/1...75e1fd39_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8619/1...0b5a0152_c.jpg More to come!

Parlor Headstock
When putting the specs together for this parlor guitar we decided on an open headstock. We went with a new design with several changes from my existing designs. One, was to have the top curve emulate the bottom of the fretboard.
The second was to cut the width of the headstock to go with the smaller body size. To do this I alternated the holes for the tuners allowing me to pull the whole thing together more tightly. With the slots skewed I think it goes quite naturally with the top curve. Here is the initial drawing I had shown previously: https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3944/1...2e08fea7_z.jpg There are a number of guitars models out with this general type of configuration so to help make it my own I added facets near the nut and on the top similar to what I have done on other headstock designs. Here is the actual headstock all roughed out: https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8574/1...dcbb681a_z.jpg We went with the black Ebony theme on the top and back Thanks for viewing! Mark |
Mark,
The new headstock design looks fantastic. Well done! I can't wait to see how this guitar turns out. Kindly, Danny |
Love your headstock. Very classy!

Indeed the new headstock shape will become popular - I plan on using it for my current Hatcher build, albeit in non-slotted form.

Thanks TomB'sox and Dcn,
Here are the last shots before the parlor went to the finisher: https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8661/1...536651c0_h.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8603/1...dba2dc4b_h.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8660/1...d7b8dfbb_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8681/1...e6cf801f_c.jpg[/url] Thanks for viewing!

Since you have topped the 300 post mark (no pun intended) we are going to ask you open a continuation thread. Our software gets weird when threads move beyond 300 posts.
I look forward to your builds Mark. Fun to watch (and drool). :up: |
