Impulse control
Since these inlays have been taking me longer than I thought, I have had some time to think over certain design aspects of my guitars. One semi-major design change would be that I am not going to laminate a thin peice of Redwood under my fingerboards. This is because I want to do something that will make my pegheads look fancier, and the Redwood would make things too thick. On the peghead I was going to have a one peice ebony headplate. Basically a black cover to the head of the guitar. But I have been thinking of how I wanted to make some guitars in the past. Years a go I worked on a few 1910-30's era banjos. Something that banjo makers often did, was to put peghead laminates on the front, and back of the peghead. It creats a real nice outlining effect. So I have decided that I will do that, as a sort of throw back to an era of higher craftsmanship. My guitars will have a peghead with a black white black effect on both sides of the peghead. A fine white (maple) line will outline both front and back of the peghead. It's going to look great.
