"Thanks Bob", for the Big Tick on the Headstock, I should use this one more often! :-)

Big tick in the box for the headstock!

"Thanks Jock", I don't build them because I think I need more Guitars, but it's what makes me happy in my retirement, locked away in my work shed building CBG's, while listening to lots of my favourite Music. :-)

"Thanks UJ", a recent Cohiba build posted by Southern Ray, prompted me to do something with this Cohiba Box, I purchased some time back. :-)

Don't use this design headstock a lot Dave, mainly when I have an odd set of Machine Heads, as was the case here!, or when some cheap 6R or 6L Tuners appear on Ebay. :-)

This thing is good clear through. A+ headstock !
