Fisher Price: My First Guitar

Okay guys, I promised you some photos of the guitar I'm currently making. trouble is, I've been off college most of the week due to having the flu, so I haven't had a chance to finish the binding and take more photos. So, I'm gonna post a few photos of the headstock. Its inspired by the Conde "Media Luna" design, but I gave it a twist of my own. This headstock has some unusual features... firstly its got both a front veneer and a back veneer. The reason for that was because its a 2 piece neck, so I wanted to cover up the unsightly scarf joint. I noticed this on my yamaha... 2 piece, scarf joint necks aren't usually seamless, so I wanted to mask it with another veneer. Another unusual feature is that this headstock has SIDE veneers too. Now this WASN'T intentional... It just came about because I trimmed too much of the edges, and rather than throw the neck out and start again, I ad-libbed it and decided to add extra veneers. I should say that the headstock isn't quite finished either... the bottoms of the side veneers will be angled to approximately 45 degrees to meet the back veneer, which will itself have a gentle curve towards the centre. I'm aware that this is not a traditional headtsock, and when it comes to my second guitar, there will definitely be a few things done differently. Most of all, I need to take extra care not to take too much off with the plane! When I get back to college next week, I'll try and take some photos of the body, and add them to this thread. Cheers, Jb
