I use these, but the brass ones. For some reason their website does not show the brass ones.

I found the ones used in that guitar but I'm glad you didn't use them.
Finding ideas that let us create what we see from out own designs (even if we get help from someone else) is the best way forwards.
In the past, a luthier would create his own headstock to show that this work was his work. I still believe that this holds true today.
The end product from what we create, even if it is one guitar, says more about who we are as builders than anything we can say on a website.
I have built at least one instrument that has this 'spirit' in it and gave this as a gift to my daughter.
Sure, I would like to own a Les Paul from the 60's but I would rather be the creator of an instrument that gives someone pleasure 60 years from now. I would hope that they would look at the thing and wonder who the man was and what type of person he was it was that created it.
I guess I want to put myself into my builds and if I can do that then I will be happy.

I totally agree with you. My first build is VERY generic, and i haven't been overly happy with it, even though I have have gotten several compliments on it from guys that play the guitar, and have actually picked on it, for a little while. My second build, an electric diddley bow out of an ax handle, has far more of my personality in it, and I like it far better. My first just hangs on the wall. I am actually trying to play on the diddley bow, so I totally get where you are coming from...

I saw them and they are nice, but at $7 for 2, but for $.99 I like the other ones too....looks like they'll have a more "flush" fit too.
I received them and they are slightly smaller than I'd like, but flawless.
Try other ones. I usually buy my guitar parts at the hardware store so I can see them
4.50 for 5 plus postage.
Now you know the things you can use, I'm sure you will find your own style. :)
99 cents for two with free shipping! Now I have to find a really good deal on some nice corner protectors.
Those ones or something like them?
