...your steel string slotted headstocks! I'll be doing my first one soon. Also, any kind of measurements would be helpful. I have no guitar available that I can take measurements off of. I have a 6" long bookmatched piece of nice claro walnut that I really want to use as the head plate, but I just don't know if it is long enough. Anyway, I'm just trying to get those creative juices flowing. Although, I'll probably just end up going with a standard type of look...

Thanks all!

Beautiful work, Haans! I can only hope mine will turn out somewhere close to as nice as yours.

Tracy, not my style, but that is one beautifully proportioned peghead! The design elements are just lovely... [clap]
