UJ, funny that you mentioned painting the head. The little devil on one shoulder said “paint the head red and draw in black lines to mimic the center of the game board.” Then the little angel on the other shoulder said “listen idiot, stop while you’re ahead.” This time restraint was my choice.
Love that tin and the guitar looks good. I keep looking at it and liking it as is, but wondering how it would look with one or more of those good tin colors on the head stock.
