Head Design
Observant readers will notice that the headstock on those instruments which have a guitar-type head with tuning machines (mandolin, guitar etc.) have the end of the headstock shaped like a letter B (yes, for Brown!) with the central portions of the B being inlaid with mother of pearl. This was not possible on the traditional dulcimer head so an ebony B was attached to the strum hollow.
Current Project
I am currently working on a solid electric guitar. At the moment the design is:
- Double cutaway
- Dual humbucker
Possible options:
- Coil switching
- Serial/Parallel switching (coils)
- Serial/Parallel switching (dual HBs)
- Phase switching (coils)
- Phase switching (dual HBs)
It is unlikely that all options will be included.
