    If I decide to make the headstock bigger-- adding wood to it to make it more square-- It seems like there will be a problem matching the wood that is already on the neck. One solution for the face of the headstock I think would be to put a rosewood overlay on. But for the back of the headstock it may look very obvious where the wood is added. I thought I could also put an overlay on that too, but that might not look so great either. Does anyone have a suggestion to make this easier?

    Martinedwards- Brilliant job! That's just what My idea was for this acoustic. I'm laughing because it's exactly what I was dreaming up. Only difference is that you painted this one, and I would be varnishing mine with a lacquer. So, it seems my challenges are 1) to find a wood with similar grain and 2) to make sure the lacquer is the same. Here's an example of what the headstock looks like-- and I just want to square it off like a Collings. I can't figure out how to show an image...

    When I travel to play elswhere I take a Blueridge BR160 guitar -- instead of my expensive ones because I don't want to lose them in flight (I've had this happen). But this Blueridge plays and sounds fantastic, especially for flatpicking. But I can't stand the headstock-- the shape or that elaborate decal. So, I had an idea. What If I could enlarge it so that it looks more squared off like a Collings? More like a standard flatpicking guitar. I think it could look very cool. So, I thought I could carefully glue some pieces to the sides and top to square it off. Then glue a very nice rosewood overlay on top -- that would really enhance the look of it and make it impossible to notice that anything was ever done. Does anyone think this is possible and have any ideas on how I would do it? Thanks Chris
