  • Thanks guys, but I've laser etched the headstock already.  It's quite small, the only way I could have gotten that F on it would be to cut a new one maybe 1/3 that size. 

    It does give me an idea for the place where the FB doesn't quite butt up to the box top.  Maybe a small red F there?

  • Yeo, BQ,   Keith said that and with more thought, that would be a really good usage.   Poor Lark.  Probably too much input.

  • That actually looks kool uncle, I know I guy who has a custom archtop with an abalone f-hole inlay on the peg head? You can also throw a saddle on it & use it as a bridge? 

  • Oooh.   Black headstock with a red F. Angled seems good, but you did the f on the box straight, so either way.  

    Do it your way.  Keith and I will be interested to see how it comes out.   

  • Paint it red and glue it lower than the string, maybe.  But it might be in the way.  Or between the bridge and tailpiece. 

  • Liking UJ's input. Or you could paint the F red , then add your bridge on top of it. Isn't it nice, for so much help, lol.

  • The f might look good on the headstock.

  • I hadn't thought of a use for the F yet.

    Gluing red cloth under the sound hole, now that is an interesting idea. 

  • Wow, good way to do it.  Nice parts too.  I wonder if the red cloth goes under the f hole and if you will reuse the 'F'.
