I'm looking forward to part 4: I'd love to read about the design of your other headstock shape--the asymmetrical paddle. (I'm not sure what it's called)--and the open headstock that evolved from there.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Erithon, it’s fun to put this together. Guitar making is a journey. It goes through twists and turns, moments of inspiration, and unexpected surprises. The story of the Penelope headstock is representative of my guitar building journey as a whole.

There is a story behind the asymmetrical paddle (The Greta headstock), I’ll have to think that story through.

I hope to have part four up today.

Thanks everyone,
