  • Don't change a .... Oh sugar ! too late :-0 !! 

  • Sorry Uncle. It is forever transformed. I did an inlay. I'll snap a pic tomorrow morning. I think it's a good thing. A mass improvement one might say. I got sustain up the brain...

  • What Jim says is true. They used to sell a piece of metal you could clamp to the headstock in order to increase sustain. It was called "Fatfinger" or something.

  • A few opinions on heavier headstocks, fwiw:
