I am designing this crossover as I go here. I've got to start early on the headstock to be sure I get the bugs out before I actually build the neck for this guitar. Of course, I want an open headstock but my usual steel string head is sort of a trademark for my line. If your not familiar with what I do on steel strings here is a pic of a recent BRW one;
Here is a mock-up I'm working on. It doesn't have any of the laminates, I'm just working the design and string clearances etc. I think it still looks like a Hatcher headstock. Please give me your feedback!
I really like these Knilling Perfection planetary tuners. They have a 4 to 1 turn ratio and work great. They are also very light, making for a well balanced guitar. I first saw them on that great looking Batson crossover and thought about all the possibilities in head designs.
So again, please tell me what you think of the mock up.
Thanks!
