Default Headstock & Headplate Veneer

John was kind enough to use the simpler headstock shape borrowed from his Artisan model archtop on my custom Rhapsody. He also designed a new stylized “torch” inlay out of Mother of Pearl (MOP) and Green Abalone inlay to go with his MOP logotype in a Gaboon Ebony headplate veneer. Tom Ellis of Precision Pearl executed these inlays. The neck is still in the “rough”, but he has placed the neck, fingerboard and veneer on the body.
